Beginnings

In honor of this new beginning, and to test out the challenge feature, I propose that we focus on beginnings. All things have a beginning, a *genesis* if you like terms. Every story has a beginning too. I hope that you can write a beginning that will inspire you to *keep going*, but if you don't, at least you began writing! *Births* are a beginning. Sometimes *people change* so much, its like they've *started over*, or been *re-born* as they say. Perhaps you will write about that. Or perhaps you will think about the *first time* you tried something *new* and it was the beginning of a new *hobby*, or *favorite something*. Any way you look at it, beginnings are exciting, like seeing new life emerge from the cold, dead, winter snow. And I am excited to see what you come up with! *Poetry or prose*, enter now 'til June 30th!
