Last Monday, I wrote about the end of summer. So it seems
appropriate that I write about beginnings. School starts today in Michigan. The
beginning of another school year. Even though I don’t need to follow that
calendar, I’m so aware of it. Who isn’t with all the back-to-school ads?
My daughter takes pictures of the kiddies on the first day
of school every year. They each hold a sign proclaiming “1st day of
___ grade” or in grandson’s case for previous years the class he was in at
preschool. This year he starts kindergarten. Daughter is very happy since both
kids are in the same school now. She also takes their pictures at the end of
the school year—same place, different sign.
Beginning and endings. Isn’t that something we all
experience? Whether it’s in our personal lives or in our careers, endings
happen. As writers, we all know about rejection. The ending of that story with
that publisher. Do we cry and never send that story out again? Nope. We begin
again.
I saw this on Facebook and thought how appropriate to my
topic.
On to new beginnings.
