A New Day

Today is the wedding of Nicole and Jared, two dear friends and amazing people. They arrived in Maine a few days ago and these past few days have been very busy with last minute details. It has been fun to watch and participate in their excitement as well as the festivities.



As I edit this, it has been four days since the wedding and it was spactacular! The weather was sunny and warm, but I don't think it would have been any different for the couple if it had rained. They are so much in love!



Weddings always bring a sense of "newness" to mind for me. It's like a fresh start; a clean slate. Years ago I wrote several articles for the town paper (The Gorham Times) and one of the articles reflected my opinion of making lifestyle changes. Each day is a "do over". One reason people don't have success when dieting, for instance, is that they may do well for days or weeks and then fall. They believe they have failed so they continue to fall rather than waking up the next day and starting new. We all have the opportunity to have a fresh start each day; a "do over".
