"Every story has an end, but in life every ending is a new beginning."

All stories have a beginning and an ending.  Many times the stories of our lives have endings that are unwanted, the death of a loved one, the end of a marriage, a dissolved friendship, the loss of a job. They are events that change our lives. They give us opportunity to pause and reflect on life's journey.  These endings we experience lead to new beginnings.  Familiar beginnings in our lives such as a new friendship, a new career, the birth of a child are all very exciting times, but what if we took time to reflect on the changing moments in our lives that give us the opportunity for a new beginning.  Those opportunities exist daily.

Just as the shutter on a camera captures a single moment in time, we have daily opportunities to "snap the shutter" on our own lives and create a new beginning.  Each snapshot is a beginning, an occasion to reveal a moment and enjoy the chance to dream about the future.  A new beginning can be found in a new idea, new vision, new challenges, new adventures, it gives us new life.  There is freedom in new beginnings. If you were to snap the shutter on this moment right now, what would your ending be?  More importantly, what do you need to begin?
