A recent event has prompted thoughts of creating a new chapter in Life's Book. All of us receive signs that there are things we should no longer hang on to.
Moving on can mean different things to different people. For some, it means finding closure to a chapter in one's life. For others , it is a journey of self discovery. Persistent unhappiness and a lack of alignment with the self are definite signs of a need for change.
All of us must move on eventually, with acceptance and sometimes, forgiveness. Enjoy, well, this little chapter.

I First Saw Him
When I first saw him sitting on the wall, relaxed and looking out over the water, I was sure he wasn't a local. Not including children, there are only about 250 or 300 of us in this area full-time, though that number is ten-fold in the summer, and I know everyone at least by sight or by family resemblance. And yet, the way he sat looked familiar and started my mind sorting and discarding among the families I knew, not quite like this one, not quite like that one.
