Beginning a New Phase

Life chugs along. We're in a routine. Maybe we're even a tad bored. Then something happens and kicks the routine over.


A new experience waltzes in. It might be a new job, a baby on the way, the love of our life knocking on our door, or a family member moving out. Emotions flood us--excitement, anticipation, and trepidation. Will we be able to handle this new start? Will this event nourish our hopes of the future or end in failure?

Life proceeds gradually into different phases, and each will bring a fresh set of fears, hopes, and things to learn.

We aren't supposed to know it all. We can't possibly prepare for every scenario. But we can keep a spirit of humility, of wanting to learn, of confidence that we'll be able to handle whatever comes our way.

Are you in the tail end of a tedious phase? At the beginning of an exhilarating journey? Somewhere in between?

Join me on Wednesday for the final post of April's Beginnings topic.
