The Middle

I like to start each day feeling safe and happy… usually this leads to a grin and the hope that my family and friends are also safe and happy as their day is about to begin. And I like to think them at least once every evening… before another day slips away… hoping they’re still safe and happy… hoping they all had a good day. I believe life is a series of beginnings and endings… looming in the shadows like silhouettes… every birth has its death, every first note its last… every sunrise has its sunset. But as we experience beginnings and endings I know this also is true… most of our life is spent in the middle… living between the two. There is no doubt beginnings are important… as are also those times we must bid adieu… but I also believe it’s in those middles… where all of our dreams come true. So, for me, there is no better time than the beginning or the end of each day to sit back to reflect…. close my eyes… and think of those times in between… in the middle… where happiness lies.
