Beginnings

I've never been very good at finishing things. Anything without a deadline moves into the grey mists of the "ongoing" and stays there forever. Maybe because after the end there is always a "now, what?" that comes very quickly after the feeling of achievement. And when the feeling is one of relief, it's never too soon to put it behind you.

So I prefer beginnings. Open possibilities. Blank pages. New... everything. Or not everything, but enough to make you a bit nervous about what might be coming. The thrill of the still to be decided.
A beginning doesn't  need to have a purpose. It can be just a result of the way we measure things.
But I still find it exciting.
And I'm determined to make the best of it.

Here is to a very happy 2011!!
