"Often when you think you’re at the end of something, you’re at the beginning of something else."  --Fred Rogers

"Mister Rogers’ wisdom always felt like a comforting, validating hug. In this quote — similar to the familiar phrase “when one door closes, another opens” — he ruminates on beginnings and endings. When it feels like one chapter or phase of life is coming to a close, it’s often an indication that a new chapter is about to unfold. Instead of fixating on finality, we should view endings as opportunities for fresh beginnings, new experiences, growth, and discovery. Rogers’ words serve as an optimistic reminder to approach life’s transitions with hope and openness, recognizing that each ending carries within it the seeds of a new beginning."  --Inspiring Quotes Sunday, August 27, 2023
