The last few weeks have given us a lot of endings.
Bean ended his Freshman year, ended his journey of the broken leg today with his final surgery to get hardware out of his leg and ended his no-driving life, now bearing his TELL and legally being able to drive my car....
Dizzy ended her Junior years of Girl Scouts, culminating with her receiving her Bronze Award, ended her Elementary school career with the Presidential Award for Academics (or something along those lines) and the American Legion Award and ended her second ever season in softball with a smile and promise to her coach to play next year.
Tater ended her second season of soccer with a smile and a bounce to her stride and ended her school year with over 85 points in the Accelerated Reader program. (she also ended her life as a child who had never taken a "selfie" last weekend...)
Our dear cat Tigger ended her life this last week, her health finally failing after 16 1/2 years in our family.
While we have had a lot of endings, there are some new beginnings as well...
Bean is beginning to drive and will be beginning to run again soon.
Dizzy is beginning her summer workouts for gymnastics and ready to begin her first year of middle school.
Tater is beginning her first season of softball and loves it. She is really taking to the catchers position like her Papa Dave.
We'll begin a new life someday soon with a new pair of kittens, a first for my kids to have a baby animal in the house.
The garden is beginning well, everything is coming up nicely and I should have a crop of lettuce in a few weeks. Can't wait!
I've even had a beginning with a workout routine. I'm getting up earlier in the mornings and working out for a little while, easing into a routine and retraining my body.
For every ending, there is a new beginning. I know it is often hard to see that sometimes, but watching for the window of opportunity.
