As I try to patiently wait for the snow to melt and the warm of the sun to arrive, I got thinking about endings and beginnings. Orson Wells once said, "If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop the story."
Today I will submit my final assignments for the last 'must be present to win' course in my Masters. The end of this course marks, for me, the end of a shared journey with the other members of our cohort. Many will continue to do course work, while some of us will begin the process of completing a thesis. Our stories will not stop here completely and we will be forever joined by our lived experience of 2 years studying together. But, it is a line that indicates beginnings and endings.
I am happy to be one step closer to the final end of this story--a completed Masters degree. I am excited to move forward in my learning and to experience new, and somewhat, scary things. I am sad to leave the group, for it has been a rewarding experience to work, struggle, play, laugh and commiserate together. The relationships might change, but the bond from having experienced this together will remain.
A door is closing and I'm ready to jump through the opening window!
Well, it might be useful to re-read the post more carefully! WARMTH of the sun, might have made more sense!!
