A New Chapter

Beginning a new chapter in your life can be hard

Sometimes, the next chapter begins because you decide, on your own, to set a new course.

But so often, a new chapter is required because of a major upheaval in your life. 

But even if your next chapter was born from grief, you have the choice as to what the contents will be.

You can allow grief to swallow you whole.

Or you can begin anew. Stripped raw of your past attachments. Like a child, starting down life\’s path.

But this time, with the gift of knowledge that comes with age.

If your new chapter comes because of a time of lost, you should celebrate the person that has left your life, and make every day that comes a joint venture with them.

Share the joys of the day with them.

Confide your fears with them.

Revile in the gifts that each day brings you, big or small. 

Because that is exactly what they want for you.
