The Importance of Endings

Beginnings get a lot of attention.  Baby’s first word, the first day of school, your first kiss.  Making new friends, starting new jobs.  New cars, new homes, new pairs of shoes.  We love beginnings because they are pregnant with the promise of opportunity and the hope of growth.  We tend to approach beginnings with planfulness.  We daydream, we prepare, we feel the butterflies of nervous anticipation.
