MAY TODAY BE THE DAY YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT FOR ALL THE ENDINGS YOU'VE ENCOUNTERED IN YOUR LIFE

May today be the day you acknowledge that for all the endings you've encountered in your life, each new sunrise offers the chance to embrace new beginnings. This isn't because new beginnings are easy or automatic, but because, just like the cyclical patterns of the sun and moon bring about day and night, you too experience cycles of endings and beginnings. They are natural, and you are moving through them.

Recognize that new beginnings don't have to follow a perfect, step-by-step plan where everything is figured out. Instead, they can unfold naturally, like the transition from day to night and back to day. With each turn of the day, you are collecting wisdom and learning as you go. The change might be subtle at times, but the constant is that the day happened, then the night, and during the night, there was an interruption—a pause from the sunlight of day—but now it's day again, bringing something new, a renewal after the pause.

So, for whatever has been interrupted in your life, whether it's been on hold for a short while or a long time, may the new day remind you of the possibility of what new things can be here now.

Interruptions are often beyond our control, and even when we try to make up for lost time, it can feel like we can't keep up. The same is true with day and night. We can't stretch the hours of daylight or darkness as we please, but with time, we learn to live through these cycles. Still, observing nature, we notice that despite sunflowers not controlling the sun, and rivers not directing the rain, there is growth, flow, and progress. Still, sunsets echo resolve. Mornings transform shadows. New beginnings rise up like the morning sun and find us in the same way new seasons do.

Despite all of life's interruptions, growth and movement becomes possible, over and over again.
