A Time to Start Over

Today, it seems, has been a time of deep reflections for me. I have finally been able to get away from my busy schedule, and meditate on so many things that has happened in the past couple of years, and after emerging from a period of many tragic happenings, I find that it is time to put the past behind me, and look towards new beginings.

It is time to start all over again. As I look forward to new things, I can begin to anticipate with excitement, whole new horizons, filled with wonderful and new changes, so, I find myself putting my life into perspective, as I come to realize that there comes a time for me to stop, and enjoy the journey.

Today, I reminised about a time not so long ago, remembering when the New York subway system was not as elaborate as it is today. A token then, cost a mere 10 cents, and a Milky Way chocolate bar was a nickle. You could enjoy an evening matinee for just a dime. When I first came to the USA, a permanent Visa cost $5.00, and so on and so fort...

And somehow, I awake, and find that the economy is in a shamble, and people are hurting, and suffering for lack of the bare essentials we once took for granted. I find that I too have been hit by this situation forced upon us, and have been forced to begin the course of life once again.

But in the middle of it all, I have found hope, and the courage to look toward a brighter day. It is indeed a time to start over, and this I find, is not as traumatic as I anticipated. So, as I travel this new road, I am begining to see a brighter future, and I look forward to the challenge.

Today, I do not discard the past, but I have put it in that place of memories, for I know I will visit there for refference time and time again. But, I press forward, for I am renewed, and ready to face the challenge, it's time to start over again.
