New Beginnings

by Mary Anne on February 15, 2010

Tomorrow starts a new chapter in my life, my new job….and I am beyond excited about it too.   In the movie “Hope Floats” one of the last lines goes something like this, “Beginnings and endings are scary, the good stuff is in the middle.”  

I disagree.

The end of my last job was not scary and the beginning of this one isn’t either.   I think I jumped straight to the good stuff in the middle due largely in part with the tremendous peace I have mentally about the choice I made.   And having a week off in between?   

Sheer bliss.

Having a full week off, you would think I would have done something fun….maybe gone somewhere for a long weekend.   Possibly enjoyed a massage or a facial.

Nope.

I cleaned out my closets.   Every last one.    Pictures to come on that shortly (including unfortunate shoe choices…gasp!!!!).    All I can tell you is the entire experience, all five days and 20 trash bags of it, was incredibly cathartic and just what I needed.   A fresh start.   Clean.  Organized.  Without meaningless clutter.

It’s a great place to be.

Also?   We had our own “Snowmageddon” in Texas this week.   12 inches of snow, the highest ever recorded in one day, on February 11th which also happened to be the 16th anniversary of the day I got married on a ski slope.   Coincidence you say?    I say it was God smiling on us that day and reminding us of a very snowy day in 1994 when I made another great decision.

More to come on the closet cleaning….because I know you are dying to know…but in the meantime, here are a few pictures from “Snowmageddon…Texas Style!”


That? Is a lot of snow. Taken on the trails in our neighborhood at 9 am before anyone else was out. It was magical.


Sixteen years to the day…snow again!


Respect the hat.


Snow kisses. This after the kid beaned me in the head every two minutes with a snowball.


Not snow angel. SNOW DEVIL.

…and finally, my attempt at being “artistic”.

I hope whevever you were, you enjoyed Snowmageddon and stayed safe and warm!

xo,
TSM

An attention-grabbing discussion is price comment. I think that it’s best to write more on this subject, it may not be a taboo topic but usually persons are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
