I finished a very challenging semester at COM today. I am so very grateful for the challenge/challenges.

I can’t imagine a life unchallenged.

How do we grow? How do we learn about this Infinite Universe if we aren’t exploring beyond our boundaries?

I am grateful I didn’t check out (though I certainly fell).

I am grateful for the being in my life that I visit occasionally—grateful for the spirit I still see there, despite all the chaos and mayhem going on within.

…and I am grateful; for more to come.

Sweet dreams, sweet prince
The advice you’ve given me has held.
