Getting Started

Fresh starts.  Some people could use a new beginning when life seems tired or lonely or a ton of regrets start to creep in.  But, that whole "wiping the slate clean" thing sometimes seems too good to be true.  There are a lot of things that promise a fresh start...a new job, a new relationship, a new school or even a new home in a different city.  Let's face it, there are times when we would just like to launch something new to get to something better.  Have you ever wanted that?  Do you wish you could have that right now?

I've moved a few times in my life and each move was actually really cool.  I'm always one for adventure and change and almost every change that happened in my life has been by choice.  Very few times was I forced into a new beginning.   But even the forced times were pretty exhilarating.  New challenges and new friends gave me the opportunity to "start over" and implement what I learned from past mistakes.

What about you?  Where do you go looking for fresh starts?  Have they always delivered what you had hoped?  Were you a better person each time you went through one?
