Old Ends









"So I close my eyes

to old ends

and open my heart

to new beginnings"

-Nick Frederickson







Here we are, the end of 2018.

Was it everything you hoped for

when we started this year?

The last two weeks of December

are always the hardest for me.

As we grow older, 

our gains and our losses increase.

Sometimes, we focus on the gains

so we don't have to dwell on the losses.

But it's in this time that I tend to think

of all the losses.  

I'm ready for January and a new year,

a time of new beginnings,

and I'm hoping for 

a few new gains along the way.

Here's to a new year, a new chapter.

  1. That's a beautiful picture. Cowgirl riding. It fits.

    deal with whatever is and however can be.

    both good and bad its all the same.

    good questions. good beginnings.
