There are landmark days and in my mind they are usually the first of something ... and so here is a meditation on the first day ...

1. The first day of school - fear
2. The first day of work - independence
3. The first day of piano lessons - failure
4. The first day of your period (sorry boys) - womanhood
5. The first day of Lent - denial
6. The first day of January - discipline
7. The first day of summer - freedom
8. The first day of marriage - bliss
9. The first day of parenthood - joy
10. The first day of church - community

Today was the first day of my new job. It promises much that it has been a long time since I had ...

Independent thought
Freedom from opression
Responsibility without Fear
Respect for my time, my person, my skill & my talent
Appreciation for a job well done

Isn't it incredible that you can go for 2.8 years without realising what you were missing?...

It's a new day for me and I couldn't be more thrilled.
