Auntie Mame Says it Best - Open a New Window, Open a New Door

Welcome to Five Minute Friday, the word for today is Opportunity.

What an exciting word filled with unimaginable things.  Opportunity speaks of promise, challenge and newness.  Opportunity means fresh beginnings,  never before dreamed of, well, opportunities.

Maybe because one major part of my life is ending, homeschooling, and all of my kids grown, I view the word opportunity with anticipation.  What will happen next?  What wonderful newness will occur as the Lord moves me from where I've been to where I'm supposed to be next?

I am overwhelmed with gratitude for a husband who encourages me to explore and try to discover what is to come with an open-hearted happiness for me.  I have been given the freedom to look and dream and imagine and explore because of his goodness and kindness.

I am Transitional-Woman, what opportunities are waiting for me?

    Hi, I'm coming over from The Gypsy Mama and Five Minute Friday. Sounds like we're in the same season of life. It certainly does bring lots of opportunity and it sounds as though yours is full of promise! Thanks for sharing.

      It's a little scary in its uncertainty, but life moves on and we must also.

    Totally with you on this! What is next, the kids (mostly) grown up and moved on. Interested to see what opportunities the Lord opens up! Thanks for visiting on my blog - I'll be watching yours, too.

    I loved how you gave your husband a shout-out. I could feel your love for him! And how blessed to be so loved and supported by him.
