Not The End Just The Beginning

I feel like this photo appropriately suits my thoughts lately.
The past few weeks there's felt like a running theme; The End.
The end of many things has been happening. Not all that I'll mention on here but I'll mention a few examples.

This picture is from several years ago but I still love it just the same. My grandma died just over a week ago. She had dementia for a while so I had some time to prepare myself a little, but it's never easy when a grandparent dies.


The weather hasn't been all that amazing lately so I feel a little sadness for the end of summer. I'm not ready for it to end yet. I would like to enjoy it a bit longer.

I've also been very aware lately that this time next year we'll have moved and be living somewhere else.  We've enjoyed living here and the anxiousness of not knowing what's next is uncomfortable at times. But exciting at the same time.


So although it feels like there's a lot of chapters being closed right now, I'm reminded of the excitement of a new book. Be it literature, journal, whatever. The anticipation that nothing is really the end, (to insert a cliche...) it's just the beginning of something new.
