I just needed to be home tonight--in a "space" I guess. Hope you all had fun. (LOVE your little new goats. So sweet.) Thanks, Toraji… nice when people “get it”. :)

Sorry I missed knitting! I just needed to be home tonight–in a “space” I guess. Hope you all had fun. (LOVE your little new goats. So sweet.)

(I was looking so forward to smiling through my teeth and telling Phil B. "You're the devil" when he handed me my diploma.) I'll get over it, I suppose. Just hard to let go of a dream you've had since you were nine. You know, my nine year old self is a fierce little girl with really big dreams--and she doesn't like being told her dream is over. S i g h. And dangit... I look good academic regalia. Maybe I'll just buy myself robes and wear them around the house. With Blahnik sling backs. And a french pedicure. Hey IZ, I think a pair of sling backs might make me feel better. :) Thanks, Kat–I think I’m just sad still that I won’t walk across a stage, darn it!

But I can sympathize with the decision making that separates people from their goals, and from their friends who continue on. It is always tough to take a different path, but often vital to our own future or sanity that we do. You have written a beautiful post–some of which I don’t understand.
