Catch up! and Graduation!

Hi hi hi!  Apologies for disappearing-- a lot has been happening over the last month.  I have at least four "22 before 22" items to check off, including graduating from college! Woo!

It's been just over a week since the big day, and the thought of no longer living life as an undergrad feels completely surreal.  The finality probably won't set in until this fall-- no first day of classes for the first time since kindergarten!  The whole thing makes me equal parts elated and nervous and proud.  Nervous stems mainly from my absolute lack of a plan.  I've moved back home and am applying for jobs while teaching ballet classes part-time at a local studio.  At some time relatively soon, I'll move out and dinner with my parents and siblings will become an event rather than a given. That surely makes right now a precious time.  Hopefully I'll be checking off "Get hired for a full-time job" sometime in the near future, but for now I'm trying to savor the excitement of not knowing what comes next.  Here's to possibility! 



My wish for your week

It's Wednesday evening, but the best of the week lies ahead!  We've got 4 days left to welcome in the first week of May.  I wish:

That you make a plan for goodness,

but be open to whatever comes your way.

That you find some spring flowers to brighten your day,

and that you savor something delectable!

That you boogie all night long

and spend the next day lost in a book.

That you put on your best, even if just for a walk to the shop (looking your finest is a guaranteed boost of confidence!),

but never forget that:

Done!

(jumping for joy!)

Done done done! I finished my thesis. Woo hoo!  A break from pretty pictures and quotes for some shameless self-promotion.  If anyone in the blogosphere in interested in my little ole website here's the link: http://www.chaplainsatwar.com/

And now back to the regularly scheduled programming...
