January – cold, damp and today, windy. What’s to like? How
about beginnings? A new start.
Remember when we were at school and given that new exercise
book? How neat was it at the beginning? That first page was immaculate. But
that’s the thing, isn't it? A new page is full of possibilities. The
possibility to hold something better than the last exercise book, to be better
than last time. Sure, there was a risk involved. What if the first thing I
wrote was a mess? What if I had to cross it out and start again? Even now, that
doubt is strong but now I know that new beginnings hold the promise of progress
and development and change.
So, here’s to new beginnings, to starts, to taking time to
count our blessings. Here’s hoping that 2015 is a great year for us all.
