A NEW BEGINNING New Beginnings seems to lift all of us up. I think that is why we like the first of the year. We get a new calendar and it is like we get to start all over. A birthday means a new year and new opportunities for us. Babies are seen as new life and perhaps the baby will be that person who changes the world for us. Puppies are cute and offer to us new love and relationships. Dating a new person means we get to redfine a rela;tionship and make it better this time. I think some people buy new houses so they get a "do-over." It is new,They buy different furniture, they get a fresh start. The new surroundings give them an opportunity to define a new way of living. Some empty nesters move into a condo downtown to have such a different life style where they don't miss the kids or all the pets that once filled their lives. A family might move to a hobby farm so they can experience a freedom that they could not have in the city. A person suffering the loss of someone close to them might buy that cabin on the lake to find their center once again. Change ins where we live can for some bring happiness. Today we have a change in our government leadership as a new President is sworn in. People from all different mind sets and all parts of the world have great hope in this man. It is not only the man but the change that brings hope to us all. Change is good but it also brings discomfort to us. It means things are done diferently and we are not familiar with these changes. It will be a positive new beginning if we all give change a chance.
