Once upon a time...... and they lived happily ever after ....
The End
Most fairy tales end that way .. "happily ever after ... the end". In real life however, it's a different story:
a once happy marriage could end up in divorce
a once bright compliant child could end up in prison
a once rich family could end up being poor
a once healthy mom or dad
could later be afflicted with a sickness or disability
a once bright compliant child could end up in prison
a once rich family could end up being poor
a once healthy mom or dad
could later be afflicted with a sickness or disability
and in cases above .. we wouldn't want to really call it "the end",
but we want to look at it as a "new beginning"
for in "real life", there should be a "second chance"
and life goes on...

I don't know why I haven't seen your blog before -- maybe because this past year I have had trouble accessing all blogs. Anyway, I like what you write and I will be back!
I am in complete agreement we all need second chances sometimes even third or fourth chances
Quite right--we look to endings for happiness but want chances at bright beginnings again and again.
Neat thoughts!

Very aptly told...
That's why they call them fairy tales, I guess. Most times, things never turn out the way you think they will... but yes, thank God for second chances and do-overs!
as long as it doesn't kill you....
it makes you stronger...
so as long as you are drawing breath
there is a chance, a hope, a light, at the end of the tunnel....
True, indeed. There's always a beginning, but I much prefer the idea of the middle lasting a long, long time.
Nothing really ends it just changes. Wonderful post!
Every end is a new beginning. You brought that across really well.
"...and life goes on" and on and on and on... endless laps around the world.
how many people's expectations of life have been constrained by fairy tales? It's always good to see endings as possibilities for new beginnings.
Oh, I agree. Endings are new beginnings, absolutely.
Very well said. One ending is a new beginning.
They say God never gives you anything you can't survive. I really liked your take on this week's topic.
