Starting New and Starting Over
CONGRATULATIONS ALLYSON RICKENBAKER...Today I had the privilege of sticking next to Allyson on both the hardest and greatest day of her life. She lost a lot of weight today...most of it named Tommy. Divorce is a hard and pretty sad affair. In the few hours that we were in the courthouse, four couples successfully completed their own. Allyson's wasnt sad though...hers was great. She was poised, dignified, and as ready as she could be. I was proud.
She got everything she needed and nothing she didn't. Cheers to you Allyson Rickenbaker. Your new life begins now. I can't wait to see what you do with it.
On a simliar note, Allyson gets to start over today. The Start over is one of my favorite parts of life. Its the rare moment when your future opens up and your past ceases to matter. Allyson got a start over this afternoon. She got a new name, a little money in her pocket, and just enought pressure to force her into something new. Who she was when she was married doesnt matter. What she used to do with money doesnt matter. She's new today. Her horizion is opening before her.
Of course, the reality is that every day is essentially a start over. Every moment could be a start over if we so choose. At any point, we can say, the past doesnt matter, life starts today.
Its like the sign posted over the door at a logging company: The Best time to plant a tree is 5 years ago, the second best is today.
Cheers to Allyson. Cheers to anyone who stops living in what has always been and starts living in what could be.
