New Beginnings

 

"In life, the seasons come and seasons go,
Each with its own special beauty,
Each with a new challenge.

Warm summer nights and cool fall days,
These soon move to soft winter snows.
Love is in the air…life beginning anew,
Bringing new challenges…new beginnings!"

from "New Beginnings"

"Live this day as if it will be your last.

Remember that you will only find "tomorrow" on the calendars of fools.

Forget yesterday's defeats and ignore the problems of tomorrow.

This is it. Doomsday.  All you have.  Make it the best day of your year.

The saddest words you can ever utter are,

"If I had my life to live over again."

Take the baton, now.  Run with it!  This is your day!

Beginning today, treat everyone you meet, friend or foe,

loved one or stranger, as if they were going to be dead at midnight.

Extend to each person, no matter how trivial the contact,

all the care and kindness and understanding and love

that you can muster,

and do it with no thought of any reward. 

Your life will not be the same again."

~ Og Mandino

 

"The beginning of love is to let those we love

be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image.

Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them."

~ Thomas Merton

 

 

 Wishes to each one of

 you, that this new beginning

will be your best one yet!
