I was reading an excerpt from a book whose arrival I am excitedly awaiting.  In this anxious interim, I read a portion today about beginnings...a random selection on the Amazon.com web site.  The book was, "To Bless the Space Between Us:  A Book of Blessings," by John O'Donohue

 

"Tus maith leath na hoibre."  An old Irish proverb which means, "A good beginning is half the work."  The author says that a time of "considerations, hesitation, uncertainty" can delay us "before the actual act of beginning happens." 

 

I believe the beginning he goes on to refer to as "awkward and slow" would be an accurate definition of my crawl towards the ultimate reward of better health and more inner confidence.  It's a daily struggle. 

 

I will hold to his comment about beginnings being like new horizons.  They want to be seen and want to break away from that "grip of the past."   I need to keep focused on that thought!
