“When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us.”

– Alexander Graham Bell

This one hit me right between the eyes. I have not been looking for open doors. I have been hanging out at a closed door and worrying. This has to stop. It cannot continue. I have to step away from what is right now and create a future. Endless hours worrying about what was and things I cannot control have become cumbersome and have stopped me from living today. I need to get to living in the moment. This quote was a great reminder.

    Have a great and interesting day now, and now, …
