Opening Day

Friday I went up to Opening Day for the Cleveland Indians. I don’t go to a lot of Tribe games, but I always love opening day. I wrote a post a year ago about the excitement of Opening Day, feel free to read, but today I am inspired by openings. Openings are always solid. Though closings can offer good too. Closing a chapter, closing a deal, or closing on a house. Trust me, I’m not hating on closings. But openings…wow. Let’s take a look. Opening day. Opening lines. Opening up. Opening our minds. Opening a door. Going through an opening. Openings offer tremendous value. Though exciting, they can often come with nerves and anxiety, not really knowing what is beyond the opening. As such, some people might not proceed through an opening out of fear of what might be closed off behind them if they do. I’m sure I have be in the presence of openings that I did not take advantage of for whatever reason, but that doesn’t mean that openings don’t exist. We have to be open to openings and the discomfort and uncertainty that they might bring. We must not consistently close ourselves off to openings. Every day should have the potential to be an opening day.
