It's admittedly kind of lame that I am pulling the "beginnings" card on the first day of a new year but it's my blog and I can do what I want, even be lame if that's what I choose! :) Last year, when the 365 focus was different, I also did something on beginnings. Just call me predictable. But doesn't the first day of a new set of 365 days make *you* think of beginnings? Well regardless.
I am grateful for beginnings. They provide us with fresh chances to do things differently. They give us new opportunities, new relationships, perhaps even new life. The beginning of something is always a bit painful at first. You have to settle into new things and figure out what needs to begin. But once you do that the beginning of something holds a sweetness that is enhanced by people and experiences. Sometimes beginnings are tough and not so sweet, and sometimes they never turn sweet. I'm still grateful for even those because I know I have something to learn in them as well.
