Another one down...

My fall semester is officially finished! What a relief. This semester was great for several reasons that I wont bore you with at this time, but I am very thankful for everything that has happened to me since September.

I also want to take this time to say how proud I am of my Mom for graduating this semester. She has worked tremendously hard and has set a great example for my brother and I. We are having a little dinner tonight in honor of her...Cheers Mama!

It's times and events such as these that people tend to do a little soul searching and I admittedly have done my fair share of that. Trying to define yourself by a moment in time is exhausting and quite possibly a wasted effort. Time changes things so rapidly, maybe it's best to identify yourself against something more stable....something more tangible...like your own experiences and essence of being. I don't believe that you should ever stop trying to figure out who you are but sometimes it's best to sit back and realize that most things that are worth having in life come when you least expect them. I think that we should all strive to feel happy when we see ourselves for who we truly are. What a difficult task...

“Someday, somewhere - anywhere, unfailingly, you’ll find yourself, and that, and only that, can be the happiest or bitterest hour of your life.”
