“There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning.”*
Upon first reading the above quote, attributed to Louis L’Amour, my breathing slowed.
My body sensed the wisdom of these statements.
After several deep breaths, my mind offered these memories:
In 1997, my marriage of thirty-three years ended. I felt life as I had known it was finished. Five months later, my Mother died on my birthday. As you can imagine, it was a dark time for me.
The grief process was my companion for many months before I could trust the truth contained in the second sentence.
How about you? Have you ever thought that everything was finished only to learn that it was the beginning?

You know that is exactly what I have been experiencing. But the good thing is that now I can see the beginning!
Congratulations! Seeing the beginning gives us the courage to continue. Best of luck to you!
