Birth Announcements, How Ironic

Life gives unexpected twists and turns.  While everyone is commemorating the day of the dead, birth announcements are all over.  It is as if there is always a tug of war between creation and termination.

With the advent of cards, including electronic ones, well wishes or words of sympathy are conveyed easily.  How ironic that with technology thoughts on birth and death are also similarly communicated.

Beginnings are nothing but a reminder of endings.  Maybe a sad thought but it is undoubtedly true.  When someone comes into our lives, the thought that someday the beautiful relationship will end will cross our minds.   Of course nobody wishes for it to end but it happens.  Sometimes it does not. Still, beginnings are bound to end.

Positive thinking has to encourage us that there is nothing wrong when something ends.  It should keep us going...
