mine, yours, and somebody else's

First.

I guess I've been all about new beginnings lately.

I seem to find something that 'begins' each day.  I was distracted all day by thoughts inspired by a 'May 1' date. I thought about all of the people thinking the same thing.  "What can I begin on this first day of this month? On this first day of the rest of my life?" I thought of all the people who will vow to quit a bad habit on this day, the people who hated this day because their rent was past due, those who found new inspiration, the drivers licenses that expired, the anniversary of this and that, the first tuesday of the first date.  All of these 'firsts' stood out in my mind because they are significant to someone, somewhere.

What is your first today?
