WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES, ANOTHER ONE OPENS...ISN'T THAT WHAT THEY SAY? BY THEY...I MEAN PEOPLE. I THINK THAT'S TRUE BECAUSE YOU CREATE ROOM TO HAVE SOMETHING ELSE IN YOUR LIFE. IT'S A TRANSITION...A CHANGE...WHICH CAN BE A BIT SCARY FOR US.
I JUST ATTENDED MY DAUGHTER'S GRADUATION FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF BINGHAMTON. AS THE GRADUATING CLASS THREW THEIR CAPS UP IN THE AIR...I THOUGHT....THEY HAVE THEIR WHOLE LIFE AHEAD OF THEM...CAREER CHOICES, MASTERS PROGRAMS, LIFE DECISIONS, TAKING ONE ROAD AND ELIMINATING ANOTHER. MAYBE THAT'S WHY WE FEAR ENDINGS...IN SOME WAYS IT CLOSES THE DOOR ON OTHER CHOICES OR OPPORTUNITIES...BUT IF YOU FOLLOW YOUR PASSION, HEART'S DESIRE, AND MAKE A CHOICE...THE FEAR SOMEHOW SUBSIDES A BIT. EVEN IF THE ROAD YOU CHOOSE ISN'T RIGHT FOR YOU...THERE WILL ALWAYS BE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO FOLLOW A NEW PATH IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION.
MAKE A CHOICE...CHOOSE A BEGINNING (OR SOMETIMES IT JUST HAPPENS) AND SEE WHAT'S AROUND THE BEND...IT MIGHT BE ALL THAT YOU HOPED FOR AND MORE....GOOD LUCK TO THE GRADUATES AND TO ALL OF US WHO ARE EXPERIENCING ENDINGS...THERE'S A BEGINNING AROUND THE CORNER :)
Love this post Debbie.
