1. One door closing. Today was my final day at my workplace. I stepped inside the building with a deep breath and a few hours later left with a spring in my step. I knew in that moment that I had made the absolute best decision for me. After 5 1/2 years I had come to a fork in the road, my tank was completely empty and my ride had to end. Now I begin the rewarding challenge to recharge my batteries, fill up my tank till it is overflowing, and never allow it to become completely empty again. It is a challenge that I now embrace, wholeheartedly and with passion.
2. New beginnings. Upon my return home I began the task of feeding the animals. When I entered the Chook shed, I was greeted with the beautiful chirping of new life. There in front of me were five little chicks, chirping excitedly for their Mumma - as they tried to climb underneath her wings. It was a glorious sight and one I felt was so beautifully presented to remind me, that today is a day of ‘New Beginnings’ and I have the rest of my life ahead of me to enjoy.
3. The wonderful and encouraging words you have all given to me - and continue to give me on a daily basis. I came here initially to enjoy the world through a visual representation of another person’s day, and to share my own. Yet we have created a dynamic community of uplifting connections, passionate individuals and I for one have found some of my greatest supporters here. My heart swells with joy and I am so pleased to be able to share our journeys with each other.
The symbolism found in the shed of a beautiful new beginning brings me joy as it did you. Thank you for sharing that miracle and this wonderful picture to commemorate it!
Here’s to new beginnings! Love the symbolism of your finding those new little chicks. May the new chapters in your life bring you great joy and happiness!
