We have heard that life is a book with a number of chapters. I've only considered this recently. It seems I haven't allowed myself this perpsective, perceiving my life as a continuous series of events all in one big "primordial soup" so to speak; a continuing evolution of life with each challenge intertwined.
Recent events have changed this perspective. I now see my childhood, teenage years, relationships, marraige, and the raising of children as individul stories of their own. While who we are is most certainly an evolution of our lives' experiences, the events in our lives' are as most certainly distinct chapters. Each a story of its' own; each meant to be closed.
I experienced many chapters in my life, and I am appreciative of my newfound perspective. With it, I intend to experience the new chapters in my life with all the vigor I can muster. And I want it all. The good, the bad, everything! Bring it on!
