New beginnings

One of my favourite poems (sadly not written by me and whose author escapes me) goes:

"O Lord
Of second chances
And new beginnings
Here I am again"

Apart from the gift of life, the ability to start afresh has to be one of the most beautiful of life's gifts. Sure there will be challenges that seek to dull these marvels but nothing can diminish the absolute magnificence of it.

The greatest enemy to embracing this reality has to be self doubt fostered by the acceptance of the judgement of others.

I choose differently, not necessarily without difficulty, but for today my thought is: "O Lord..."

This is my opinion.
