Turning the Page

This week has been the end of a seven year run following the cast and crew of Burn Notice and soon it will be time to say our final goodbye after the airing of the finale of the show on September 12th. Last night we said goodbye to the cast and crew on the final day of filming as they left to search for new projects.

The past seven years have flown by because of my enthusiasm for the show which kept my mind focused on it rather than on my problems and health situation.

I hate change, especially change that ends something I love the most, like when I had to say goodbye to my husband from my first marriage; to my mother, father and sister after they left us to be with the Lord; to my childhood innocence and so much more.

But with each change comes new opportunities for joy and happiness to replace that which we have lost. It’s like turning the page of a book, we never know what to expect on the next page but in the end we know it will all turn out well.

Sometimes turning the page only brings additional grief, when that happens it’s time to open a new book and begin a new journey from scratch.

Right now I will just turn the page to a new tomorrow with its promise of a bright future and continued love for a show that has literally changed my life for the better. At some point I might have to put the old book down and start a new one but until that time I will enjoy this one for as long as I can.
