Checking my FB stream today has left me bombarded by pictures and posts and words of great pride and congratulations as so many friends and acquaintances are graduating grad school, receiving doctorates, completing seminary, and becoming fresh-faced lawyers today. Whoa Momma! There is so much hard work and great accomplishments being recognized today! You GO ladies and gents! I wish each and every one of you the massive amount of success and pride you should feel today in all of your accomplishments! I think I'll have a glass of wine or two to celebrate for each of you!
I am always amazed at the people around me who dedicate themselves to hard work and education and continual growth. It takes so much commitment and sacrifice to reach such high levels of education and professionalism, it is quite inspiring. And with these thoughts and feelings running through my head, I can't help but reflect on the journey that I will be beginning in less than 30 days. It will be a year of raw education, a year of being broken and rebuilt, a year of sacrifice, never without a bit of suffering, and a year of trials. But at the same time it will be an amazing journey, a year of learning more about myself than I've ever learned, a year of bettering myself, a year of understanding and, more than anything, accepting what I am truly made of, and who I am truly made to be. I hope, and pray, that a year from now, I too will be celebrating the biggest graduation of my life.
Congrats! Good Luck! Keep Inspiring!
