today can always be a beginning...

The way I’m thinking is a new morning is just that

We can all have a new beginning at an instant

Morning Noon or Night

So, my new beginning is to smile about something each day

Morning Noon or Night 😊

That's an interesting one. I think I agree more with your response 'today can always be a beginning.' The beginning is always today isn't quite the same as today is a new day or a new opportunity, etc. It's certainly interesting to think about though.

It is interesting. I’m often fascinated by my own response to words. Ideas that I may have heard before and not really registered can be worded differently and create a much different response from me.

Agreed. I guess this version seemed to not account for previous and future. beginnings. 🙂

Maybe we could do a fill in the blank here. Today is ___________________

I would say that the beginning is always right now. In the passing of a second we can choose what path we will take henceforth.

I like it when people use excellent words like 'henceforth,' Shows class...🙂🌸

right now is also a time of ending and of being in the middle. Like being in the middle of this pandemic. 😃

Wow! I get confused so easily, can we switch to, 'Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?' Those words don't confuse me so much......

Lol 😂😂😂

in reply to jeanjeannie50

I agree jeanjeannie50. My belief is that every second is a new beginning. What's happening right here right now is the only reality. What happened five minutes ago is a memory. What happens one second from now is a fantasy! 😊🌈

it is actually more like something out of the history books... it had a beginning just like those other diseases for which we then had no treatment. It will have an end similar to the others as well.

and there will be future challenges as well. It seems wise to learn to alter our expectations of social luxuries and business models. What has been will need to adapt. change is the only constant. We are adaptable.

I hope we are willing to learn...

I think that too. 🙂🌸

Then we are always at the beginning? We do not progress? It very much sounds like Covid - 19 to me!

as discussed in other comments in this thread, we are also always at an ending or a middle, etc... Maybe that sheds light on our need to live in the ‘now’. So much is happening here. 🙂

in reply to 4woody

Yes, we really only have the now, this very minute to be exact. I tend to look back into the past, and suppose that this is all part of the ageing process. Yes, an awful lot is happening here, and I would like to think that we can regain some kind of normality eventually. I was made so aware of living in the now, as two weeks before Christmas I suffered a mini stroke. I saw a specialist on Tuesday of this week, and he said that I could be at risk of having a more major stroke. So, I am very aware of the 'now.'

I like your teddy bears as they take me back to my youth, and I always remember one particular teddy bear that was bought for me at the age of seven. I see that you live in the United States, and I have a couple of friends whom I regularly email over there. One friend lives in Virginia, and my other friend lives in Georgia. It is indeed a very small world, especially with a keyboard. Take Care 💖😉

Basically its a variation on Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

4woody in reply to Midori

basically... today’s is also many other things... just as now can be a beginning, it can be an ending or a middle.
