August 30, 2008 the unexpected happened. I got locked out of my apartment and went up to the roof, to see if I could go down the fire escape to get in. I remember looking over the edge and thinking, “No way- what am I? Spiderman? I turned to go and I don’t know if I slipped or what.But I fell six floors from the roof of my New York apartment building. How I survived is a miracle...

A new beginning
Well October came and went. I didn't write at all last month. I wrote one entry and that was about it. Crazy right? Therefore, I am looking at this month as a new beginning.
A new beginning is something that happens throughout our lives. We can get comfortable in our daily routines, then something comes along to interrupt that, and before you know it you find yourself starting fresh, a..."new beginning".
New beginnings can bring a plethora of emotions . They can be exciting, nerve racking, scary, fulfilling. It's really all about how you choose to look at it. Since there are options you can go shopping around on how you wish to treat or feel about your new beginning. Perhaps you want to go about it in a abrasive way. You might chose to shun all that is new, disgauard your new surroundings, close your doors to any change. Or you can take another route, and look at the brighter side of your new beginnings. You can embrace the new, discover yourself and your new surroundings. Open your arms to new experiences, new way of viewing things and the relationships around you.
Whatever it is you choose, just remember to choose wisely. If you prefer to have a black cloud over you and approaching this, YOUR, new beginning, no one is stopping you. But I garentee you that you won't be happy. Especially if you're hanging on to what once was. Remember, the past is the past for a reason, and although the future is unknown, and a tad scary, so is holding on to the past. It can just cripple you if you allow it. That's why we have memories to always help parts of our past stay alive.
So new beginnings can be scary, so can a lot of other things. Break the walls of fear, stop making excuses, and take that first step towards the new. You'll be surprised at what you find...
