It was the first day of work for my husband's new job. It began a new chapter in life.
I finally felt like I could exhale when he got home from work. The funny thing is, I never even realized I was holding my breath. We have had so many ups and downs the past three years, I guess I was a little nervous something would happen before his first day. When he came home, he said to me, "You can exhale now." I laughed. We were both smiling, I can honestly say I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. When things are rough, and something good comes along, it is hard to believe it is real. Could my husband really have found his career, could we really be OK now? We aren't going to lose the house, we all have insurance, retirement and life insurance, and we can pay the bills. Is this real? For so long, we took those things for granted, now it feels like a huge blessing in life. These past few years have been rough, but I know we have learned so much about us, our love, and hard work. We have also learned how to suck it up, and push through. What is new is a new chapter in our life. It will forever be marked as a new beginning. A new beginning with unlimited possibilities in life.
