As I sit before my keyboard today my mind wanders over a lot of changes that have come into my life and the lives of some of my family members over the last few months. Some of these changes have been fairly easy to do and some have not been done without a lot of thought and a few tears along the way. 

The one thing I try to keep in mind is that when one door closes another one always opens. Sometimes when we think that we cannot handle one more thing we learn that we most definitely can and do. Sometimes we feel we are all alone and that no one else would understand or care. In reality we are wrong because there is always someone else who cares. Even if they can not understand totally they do care about you and what you go through and how everything turns out. 

Sometimes when something seems at it's worst in reality it is actually the beginning of something new and maybe adventurous. We just need to take the time to sit back and see this. Sometimes when we feel that this is the worst day of our lives it can really be the beginning of the best day of the rest of our lives. 

We have to do our best to handle whatever life brings to us and we have to look beyond the hurt and see that ahead of us is something new and fresh. Everyone has a time in their lives when sadness comes and everyone has a time for a new beginning in some way or other if they just look past the sadness to see the sun shining at the end of the tunnel. Staying negative only breeds more sadness in my opinion. 

No matter how young you are or how old you are becoming you have the power to make changes in your life and the power to make fresh starts. Sometimes some of us have to start fresh more then others but we need to do that until we get it right I think. 

I also believe that no matter how old we get the years do not take away the ability to look ahead and plan for a bright future in some way. Sometimes it is only a small thing we need to change to do that. The magic of life is in being yourself and following your dreams as best you can. 

I think the bottom line in our lives is not how much we love things and other people but in how much we love ourselves. We need to love ourselves enough to make the changes needed in our own personal lives and our own personal space that we need to make in order for us to live a happier and healthier lifestyle. 

We need to remember that our minds and emotions need to be happy and healthy the same as our bodies do. We need to remember that we must take the time to think everything through from beginning to end and make the right decisions for our own life before we make decisions for someone else's life. 

We must look inside ourselves to find the answers we need to create the happiness we are seeking. 

Until next time,
