11/52

My first weekend of school starts this Friday and boy, I sure am nervous/excited. This decision was a long...long...time in the making, though, and there is something really satisfying about finally committing to furthering your education as an adult after mulling over your true desires for awhile. As I'm sure we all know, both financially and time-wise it can be a BIG commitment to choose a new path that includes classes, exams and life managing in a way that is very different from the days of 19 year old you in college. Because really, what the hell did 19 year old me know about what she truly wanted? (Other than boys, beer, football and freedom, of course.) In a way I think it's sort of better. It's more...solid. A bigger risk, perhaps, as there is often more at stake. But it is also like a courageous nod to our ever expanding spirits that says you're worth it. And that in and of itself is a pretty positive reason to take the leap. 

In Gratitude,

Trish
