Opportunity by B.Krueger

When one door closes, another opens....??? I believe that's how its said. At one point in my life I thought this quote was meerly meant to inspire and to give the reader optimism. A 'better door' you'd be entering. In my life, now, I look at this realistically. I believe what it means to me,now, is yes, there are always going to be ends to chapters in your life. And new opportunities will await in your 'new' chapter of life. Unfortunately, as I get older, closing doors to open new ones means leaving behind lots of good with the bad. Big changes come with much more effort and painful loss than they did when my youthful and ignorant eyes could only recognize the 'bright upside' of life.... I pray my new path isn't booby trapped! If what goes up, must come down then what goes down, must come up? One can only hope.

Revenge

Books by B.Krueger

The are so many books. We collect our favorites and keep ones we intend to read, but unfortunately never get around to. The ones we read and can't let go, sit until we find a person to pass the joy to. We always intend on rereading these favorite titles but the new filter their way onto our shelves, into our hands, leaving the "rereads" left to read. I love a good book. I especially love to find an author that I can count on enjoying. Looking forward to the next in the series. Knowing that by the end you'll be in wait for the next, which never comes soon enough.

Points to Ponder (by Don Miguel Ruiz)

All humans are storytellers with
their own unique point of view.
When we understand this,
we no longer feel the need
to impose our story on others
or to defend what we believe.
Instead, we see all of us as artists
with the right to create our own art.

Time Alone (by Susan Florence)

Today I know a little more about who I am...
because I realize who I am not.
Every day I see myself in a new way...
and this is okay.
Sometimes the hardest thing I must force myself to do,
is not to do.
The most important discovery I make day by day
is realizing what is real and what is not real...
for me.
I am here breathing my own portion of air,
seeing images, hearing, feeling, touching, tasting,
experiencing the world in my own unique way.
