New Beginnings

Welcome to my blog! This is like only one of four, I believe, that I have started in my short lifetime. Maybe this time I'll keep this one up??

I've called this blog "New Beginnings" because 1) it's the beginning of a new blog. 2) I'm in a new beginning phase of life - and I'm kind of liking it. 

My first year out of college was rough. People told me that it was going to be hard but I really had no clue. Despite my earnestness to believe them and prepare for it all, it still came down to me just having to experience it to really know that it was going to be rough. My whole life changed. Everything that was familiar was left behind to pursue the next stage of life. Well, it turned out to not really be a next stage, in the sense of a stage of arrival - like a sweet job or marriage or something like that. The stage was simply one of transition...one of learning, stretching, and general uncomfortableness...

Well, that year, or season, is over now and a new one is beginning. I would like to welcome this new season, knowing that new doesn't always mean awesome. But whatever this new season brings I would like to welcome it.
