it has just occured to me that it kind of sucks not being able to immediately share my joy with anyone. one of my friends called, my mom called, so i've shared with them. but it's not the same as sharing it with someone who has seen me go up and down trying to accomplish something important. so, as i sit here in this bright, sunny room, i smile to myself and feel really happy and proud about it all. i close my eyes and take a deep breath.
...and it's just me in this big, wide, open space...and i'm smiling and free...
