An ending is a beginning

Depending on how the end of something is happening, it should be seen as a beginning. It's hard to feel this way when an ending happens abruptly, but easier to prepare for when you know an ending is inevitable.

I've come to understand that when you accept the end of something it means that the lesson has been learned. Struggling against the outcome will only prolong the lesson. Much better to accept and move on. Easier said than done, for sure.

It's Thanksgiving weekend in Canada. Monday, October 9th is Thanksgiving day. A time for gatherings and feasts to take place. A time when we remind ourselves of our blessings and the importance of assisting those who may not have as many blessings. 

I am thankful for many things, but mostly I am grateful that I am self-aware. Having this peace inside allows me to accept beginnings and ends knowing that both serve a purpose that I may never understand. And I'm okay with that. <3
