Beginnings.

"This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning"
-Winston Churchill

Doors. There is just something about doors that astounds me. Small doors, big doors, wooden doors, metal doors, glass doors. ALL DOORS. To me, doors represent opportunities. A path unseen, a path untaken, a path filled with possibilities. 

This is perhaps, one of my favorite pictures taken in a little town in Cozumel, Mexico. It reminded me of the secret garden and left me wondering who were the people living on the other side? Who were the people that held the key to the lock? Who were the people that walked through the threshold? Of course, my imagination went wild. However, this picture, here, today, represents something different. A walk into the unknown. 

Today, in my own small part of the universe, I took a walk of my own. And, it was thrilling. I expected to be nervous, anxious, overwhelmed. Yet, those emotions did not overcome me. What I felt was freedom. 

Beginnings aren't scary. Beginnings are exciting. Endings aren't scary. Endings are exciting. Because with every ending there is a new beginning. A fresh start. A blank canvas. And, today, TODAY, was marvelous. 

Somewhere along the frustration, suffocation and entrapment, I found an escape.  A door was opened. The lock unlocked. And, with my shiny black slipper I took a step. A step into the unknown. Wish me luck!
