Turning over a new leaf...

This phrase always confused me... Turning over a new leaf only reviles the other side of a leaf. It is still the same leaf just the other side. When the phrase is used though it is really saying I am turning a new page in this book. Now that makes scene it is like starting a new chapter but rather just simply turning the page in your book of life to reveal a little more of the story. As a reader and writer. This is a concept I can not only wrap my mind around but also a point from which to launch. I am hoping to post a new blog about the "New Leaf" in my life! God Bless! Alicia
