we climbed the mountain!!

hello my friends!! so here i am again!! finally school is over and i have just completed the most amazing journey. when i started this class back in january i as scared to death. here i am in my 40s starting a whole new career in a room full of mostly young people, and i was convinced i was not ging to make it!! but not only did i make it, i made some wonderful friends along the way-counted amoung my best friends now-and because of them last night i graduated with honors. without them,i would not have done that or come this far. there were times i struggled-we struggled-but we worked our butts off together and we got through it. and last night we stood proudly all of us, our families there taking pictures and cheering as we took credit for this amazing accomplishment-this amazing jouney. but everything that we went through since january 11th, 2010...all the hard work, late night studying, struggling, etra class time to get it right, encouraging eachother-it was worth it and then some. no one saw that part, the hardest times-but those are the proudest memories for me...of all of us.

they take pictures of mountain climbers at the top of the mountain. they're smiling, elated, triumphant! they don't take pictures along the way 'cause who wants to remember the rest of it? we push ourselves because we have to. not because we like it. the relentless climb, the pain and anguish of taking it to the next level-nobody takes pictures of that. nobody wants to remember. we just want to remember the view from the top. the breathtaking moment at the edge of the world. that's what keeps us climbing. and its worth the pain. that's the crazy part. it's worth anything. (grey's anatomy)

until next time...safe jouney.
