New Frontiers

Time changes and we need to get ourselves going in new directions. Whether it is the passing of time or changing technology, there are always new frontiers ahead of us. Like the pioneers who settled the West, (and sometimes our adventures may seem just as ominous), we have faith in the fact that we can accomplish what we put our minds to, and also have the creativity and strength to overcome the obstacles that are thrown in our way.


We have a new frontier about to hit our family. Both of our children (now young men) are moving onto new stages in their lives. One going onto University most likely out of town and perhaps even out of the country, and the other, going to high school and leaving behind a few of his primary school friends, preparing to make a multitude of new friends.

It has been interesting just getting ready for the adventure coming our way – choosing schools, looking at and investigating career options, aligning courses to those options while still planning to enjoy as much as possible of what life has to offer.

It is time that mom and dad settle back and let someone else take the reins, providing guidance (like a GPS or a compass) and the road home whenever it is needed – for comfort and inspiration.

What new frontiers are you facing and how are you preparing to handle them?
