This New Chapter

During my journey, I’ve been fortunate enough to have many beginnings and endings. I think of them as chapters in a book. I’m currently starting another chapter. I’m single once again, I’ve moved to another place, and I’ve started another company. When writing, I’d consider this part of the setup and I’d build more on each part during that chapter.

Another means of composing is writing the ending first. Then you work backwards, knowing where your characters will eventually arrive. This method is often used by mystery writers. Once the author knows how they want the story to end, they work backwards and develop the story as much as they desire. I did something similar in life by writing my eulogy several years ago.

During my move into this new place, I stumbled across my handwritten eulogy. As I read it all sorts of emotions surged forth. As I’m writing, in this very moment, I get emotional. Knowing the ending and what I will accomplish, sustains me. I’ve faced some circumstances most would have yielded to, but I’m still here striving to get the most out of my journey.

I’ve fallen short more than once, and probably will come up short again. Yet, when it’s all said and done, I’m still shooting for the sun. Should I fall short, as I have in the past, I may hit a star. But I can guarantee that if I don’t take a shot, I won’t hit anything.

Today, Wednesday, July 6, 2022, I am grateful that:

I was able to get some paperwork started and nearly completed. It’s one of the things I dread, but it’s a business necessity so it must be done.

Po was able to send over some info about another income stream. It’s great to have others take an interest in helping me improve or enhance my current situation.

I was able to get a few more things unpacked. I’m getting settled in but there’s still more work that needs to be completed. I’ll eat this elephanant of a move one bite at a time.

Have you considered writing the ending first, meaning your eulogy?

Do so now.

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
