When the ends don't meet and the wallet is draining. When the bank's been calling, complaining. When the kids need shoes and we dine on broken dishes. Jesus, stretch our pennies, bread and fishes.

A Beginning of an Ending
Maria Robinson said, "Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but everyone can start today and make a new ending." By focusing on my regrets, my "misdemeanours, misgivings, misfortunes, and Miss Whatever-Her-Name-Is", I end up losing my positive view of the future.
Today, I begin to look at the future as my good ending.
One of my 3 Grandfathers died yesterday (one left.) His was an example of a good ending. Although he was never the same joyful man he was before Grandma died, he still remained focused on being a good man, a stand up citizen, an example to myself and my own kids.
I mean to, I intend to, I will to leave my past regrets behind, and live a good ending.
It's Half Time. Time to regroup, replan, and revive my life for the second half, yet to come.

In Grandpa't terms it would be the 7th inning stretch. Let's all try for a homerun.
I am so proud of you, Chindo.
