New Beginnings
In introducing the February 2023 Poem of the Month, I turn the floor over to an author whom I admire very much… Marianne Williamson, author of The Gift of Change; Tears to Triumph; A Return To Love, and many more.
“It isn’t the amount of our years that will determine the life we live now but the amount of our love. Our future is not determined by anything that happened 20 years ago, 30 years ago, our even 10 minutes ago. It’s determined by who we are and what we think, right here, right now, in this moment. Almost every hour of every day, we’ll find ourselves in a situation where we can be now who we weren’t before. And from this newness in our being springs fresh opportunities we could ever have imagined.
God specializes in new beginnings.”
Remember, dear ones… Whatever the question, love is always the answer.
NEW BEGINNINGS
How lovely it is to know that tomorrow
Is a new day for you… with yet no mistakes;
To have something so clean and fresh to look forward to
Gives you hope for your future, for goodness sakes!
In fact, every moment is a fresh beginning.
Start right now, don’t wait for tomorrow.
Your life does not get better by chance;
It gets better by change… lose your sorrow.
“The only person you are destined to become
Is the person you decide to be.”
Emerson shared this bit of wisdom;
His message is simple… I’m sure you’ll agree.
Be willing to get rid of the life you planned
In order to receive your life in the waiting.
You must shed the old skin, be open to change.
With new attitudes, a new life you’re creating.
Holding on is believing that there’s only the past.
Letting go is knowing that there’s a future for you.
It all begins in the beginning, as you know;
And it begins after you shift your mind… it’s true!
Stop being afraid of what could go wrong.
Concentrate on all that will go right.
As Dolly Parton says, “If you don’t like the road,
Start paving another one.” (Such insight!)
Buddha shared wisdom about new beginnings.
His words are soothing; they have much to say.
“Each morning… we are born again.
It matters most what we do today.
