What A Day

Today was a big day for me.

Today I am happy, proud, sad, and peaceful.

Today I graduated DBT. Today I saw the sun when it was rising...

(which was earlier than I would have liked)

...and felt the rain on my face as I headed home from work.

Seems a fitting way to describe all the emotion that comes up
when you have worked so hard to accomplish something,
when you finally reach your goal,
and when you know that it's up to you
to look forward and go from there.

I've got some good blocks to stand on though.

Thank you Kristie, Shawn,
and especially Stacey,
for teaching me the tools to have a life worth living.

I couldn't have done it without you.
