Today's thought is:

The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live.
-- Flora Whittemore

We often hear the phrase, "When one door shuts, another opens." It means
everything has a beginning and an end. When our travels on one path are
completed, another path lies ahead.

It's not easy to feel a door close. Relationships, friendships, careers, and
lives end. Although we may not understand why a door closes, it's important to
remember our Higher Power has everything to do with it. By the same token, we
may not understand why certain doors open, revealing opportunities we may have
longed for. Again, our Higher Power feels we are ready to pursue that new
experience.

The doors that opened and closed today helped prepare us for our experiences
tonight. The doors that open and close tonight will help us grow toward
tomorrow. We are not mice in a maze, randomly pursuing paths for a reward of
cheese. We are children of our Higher Power, guided towards our chosen goal
through the many doors we open and close along the way.

Have I learned there is a reason for everything in my life? Can I trust that my
path has been prepared for me by my Higher Power?
