Scared of the New

We have all been there. The start of something new. Getting a new appliance or mobile phone, having your first child, moving cities, buying your first home, starting your child at a new school…life is full of new things!
For most of us the new things can seem daunting, and we stand back, viewing it from all angles, dissecting every possibility, worrying about every thing that could or could not happen, feeling nervous and overwhelmed at even attempting to start it, or use it, and then worrying that we may not even be good enough to excel at it.

And then it happens, our child is born, school starts, our mobile contract ends, our offer for a new home is accepted, and after the sometimes shaky start, and gaining expertise from those around us who have walked the road before us, we find our groove in the new season we are in, our feet fit firmly in the pedals of our new bike, and we begin to ride….the fresh air streaming through our hair, the sun beaming on our face, and we start to enjoy each moment, enjoy the new scenery we see, the new smells we smell, the new friends we meet, the new appreciation for a whole nights sleep we have! Life becomes beautiful, but only because we made the choice to get on the bike and learn to ride!
