I’ve been re-evaluating the name because I’m not sure that I am technically still in the first chapter, but I feel like I’m starting new chapters all the time.
I’ve started a few different jobs since then, lived in three different apartments in three different neighborhoods. I’ve made new friends, and lost old friends. And each time something changes, I feel like a page turns and there is a new, fresh one for me to use.
I wrote in February about making decisions (rather than resolutions) and hoping that 2013 would be a year of great, new things in my life. Having traveled about two-thirds of the way through this year, I will say that there have been a lot of great and a lot of new things. I think that a new chapter is just underway, and I can’t wait to watch the future pages and chapters unfold.
So perhaps I am not 'technically' on the first page of the first chapter of my life, but I think I will go forward thinking of every new beginning, every day really, as a first page in what could be a brand new chapter.
