The beginning of the end

That might sound sort of pessimistic, glass half empty, always darkest before it downpours and ruins your new shoes, but it is true. Every beginning is the beginning of the end. But this doesn't have to be negative. If I had thought about my last awful experience that way it would have made it easier to cope, easier to get through it. "It's just the beginning of the end....it will be over before I know it!" I am at the beginning of the end of a journey to find out what the hell I'm doing with my life, and when I come to that particular end, I will start another journey, at the "beginning of the end" of the rest of my life. No one says just how short of long that has to be.
