"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.”

     Tonight I set and listen to the rain and try to think of a way to make this blog interesting but at the same time reflect on today.  This is something I want to do on a weekly basis.  Once a week on the same day and hopefully around the same time.  So I decided I would Google a quote and see if anything caught my attention.  A Roman Philosopher once said, "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.”  For some reason this stuck out in my mind and so, not only do I find myself reflecting on today but contemplating on this quote.
     When you think about a new beginning, you may find that you have mixed emotions.  That is actually how I am feeling.  For instance, with me starting a new job.  I am both nervous and excited at the same time.  I also am sad about leaving the job I am at, and find myself debating if I am going to leave just yet.  I was nervous about moving down here and meeting new people as well.    As I set here, I am wondering if Samantha, Charlotte, or even Miranda has ever felt this once or twice in their life.
     I have always believed that everything happens for a reason and me reading this quote, actually just tied into my own personal philosophy.  Perhaps, I got the job where I am now to bring me to Texas.  Now I am about to start a new job and this one has finally reached it's ending.  It seems to all be working out the way the universe has it mapped out.  There is little for me to be worried about when it comes to the job because I am doing what I need to do. 
     Today I also took a new step in the social department.  This in my book was also considered a new beginning because I was invited to someones house and I went and had the most wonderful time with her family.  Her name was Julie Granger and she made me feel so welcome into her home.  I don't know what it is but I could see myself being her friend.  It was nerve racking also but if thinking about what the philosopher said, this could be a new chapter in my book of life. 
     When I moved to Denton, I focused on working and securing myself.  Now that beginning is ending as I am starting a new beginning with a new job, it is only fitting that I find a new beginning in my social life as well.  Perhaps, the next beginning will be with my personal life.  Getting over my ex seems to be the hardest ending I have had to face, but if we keep the words of the Roman Philosopher in our mind and heart than we shall see that without the end of a beginning, a new beginning can not begin and we can not move forward with the confidence of a Diva and embrace that new beginning.


Until next time.......Be Blessed!!!

The Bigginings

     I figured today would be my first blog entry since things have finally calmed down.  I guess you can say it has been really hectic for me the last few months.  Now with the calmness and with this entry I can reflect on the events leading up to this morning while also explaining about me.  That will probably be the best thing and starting this blog now is perfect because Summer is around the corner.  It is pretty much safe to say that where there is summer there is friendship ready to happen.
     You see, when I lived in NYC, I had friends but not many and I didn't have my family so it got to the point that I not only felt so alone but I wanted my family as well.  Don't get me wrong, the few friends I did have where great and someone reminded me of the characters from sex in the city.  Let's see....The store manager that hired me became a friend and she was so much like Samantha it was not funny.  Then I had another friend who I met when we where both going to an online collage who reminded me of Charlotte and of course there was even a Miranda even though she was in a wheel chair.  Then there was me, I always felt and related to Carey.  I mean I love shoes.  However, I don't have near as many as she did on the show.
     Unlike the girls of the show, we did not go have coffee or lunch together, we didn't even go shopping because we each had our on lives to live.  Samantha also worked and when she was not working, she was going shopping or hanging out and having a few drinks.  Because she was a store manager though, she stayed busy just with work.  Of course Charlotte had to take care of her family and being the devoted wife that she was, didn't have much time for herself.  Miranda being bound in a wheelchair, not only had to take care of her family but also had dialysis three times a week.  That leaves me, I was so broken hearted because I kicked my ex of four years out and didn't feel like doing anything except for work and go to school.  So you can see how I could have felt lonely and homesick.  After doing much thinking, I remembered my group of friends from Texas and the thought of being back with my family excited me so I made plans to move back to Texas and that I did.
     In November I moved here to Denton Texas.  The great thing about this town is it has both the city and country feel.  I haven't met anyone that I could call my friend here yet but that has something to do with the hectic months that led up to today.  All I have done since I have been back to Texas was work, deal with issues, and visit with family.  Things are going to change soon though I can feel it.  With Summer in the air, and a new job; it is inevitable for things to change...

THIS IS THE BEGINNING!!!
