Getting Back To Business

After a bit of a hiatus, I am attempting to get back to this whole blogging thing. Last month was full of surgery, infections, and time down. Perhaps I should have taken that time to actually write, but for once in my life I was either (a) too tired or (b) too sick to actually write. Weird.

So, I apologize for my absence and promise to try and be a bit more attentive.

At any rate, it's time for some levity....

This weekend has been full of graduations and parties. A great time for reflection on the future for those both young and old. My darling little cousin graduated high school this weekend, and of course that makes me remember (once again) that nothing stays the same, and that I'm getting old....

I'm encouraged by the excitement of those who are now embarking on the next phase of their lives. They're positive and full of hope. It's my sincere hope that they never lose that joy. 

So to all the graduates:

I hope your dreams take you...
to the corners of your smiles,
to the highest of your hopes,
to the windows of your opportunities,
and to the most special places your heart has ever known.
