Fresh Beginnings

I am restarting my blog & will try to be a more faithful blogger - hence new beginnings!

I am almost done with my required doctoral coursework - it's an interesting feeling - excited, apprehensive, uncertain. I think that as one gets older one has fewer of these opportunities/experiences unless you seek them out. Life gets more routine - get up, take the kids to school, go to work, do the job tasks, come home, make dinner, cleanup, supervise homework, get the kids to bed, watch tv, go to bed & start all over again. You know what to expect.

But here I am, and it's like being seventeen again - the world is potentially my oyster. I feel like I can do great things in the great unknown. All possibly an illusion, but a nice illusion, nonetheless. Yes, there is a lot more work before I actually get my doctorate - just a little thing like a dissertation - but this is the end of phase one. So a big accomplishment & a new beginning.

It doesn't hurt that the sun is shining & it's a beautiful spring day.
