"Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore."
—Andre Gide
I love that quote. Today was the first day of the rest of my life. I really got a sense of that. Sometimes, a love one dies, or gets seriously injured, maybe a partner leaves us unexpectedly, or an illness is brought to light. In my case, today was a change in my employment status. Sometimes, we can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, but we just have faith that it will appear. I'm grateful that it is something so easy too take and not painful. I'm grateful for this gentle push to move forward and be the person that I'm meant to be.

Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds. I don't know who said it, but I've loved it for years and try to rememberto use it as my own little mantra... "As you think, so shall you be." Wishing you the best of luck, maybe this is just the "push" you needed! |

You only lose sight of the shore during the storm; the wind, the hectic terror, the rain. Everything seemed so unclear, the boat was rocked. After the storm, however, comes the sunshine. So feel the sunshine, because I am feeling it, too. |
