First day of school

Well, Folks. This, towards which I have been working for a very long time, is finally upon us; my first day of graduate school is tomorrow.

This first day of school feels just like any of the others I've experienced over the course of the past 20 years. Hopefully this one follows suit in that not only will I survive, but I will also have fun and meet nice new people.

Dad: "Well, kid...happy first day. Go forth and conquer. You're gonna be great"
Over the phone I could hear him smiling and his eyes twinkling.

Loudest. Sunday. Secret. Ever.

I wish I could meet the owner of this secret to give her an epic high five and a big warm hug...

...but I doubt I ever will, so...

Hey! ME TOO! I reclaimed my life almost exactly four years ago, and have since done my very best to live it in the most conscientious, compassionate, mindful, purposeful, and best way I possibly can. I choose happiness and balance and to allow myself to grow and learn more every single day. Because I can. And that's an amazing feeling.

Thank you for sharing your secret.
