So today is a quick Music Monday post because of the inevitable last busy week of school. The last week. I can hardly believe it. I remember 5 years ago counting down the days until the end of high school. It seems like both so much longer and so much shorter than that. And just as that countdown did, this one signifies another huge change in my life. Today I say goodbye to a job that I have had for 4 years. One of many goodbyes that will probably happen over the course of the year. But it is time for a change. Now, I if anybody, knows that life is always going to be far from perfect. But things will certainly be looking up as this week draws to a close. So send me on my way.
Today's song is "Send Me On My Way" by Rusted Root. One that always makes me smile. This one's for you Nat. Here we go, on our way.
what a long strange trip its been. congrats kellie, glad to see we are all becoming real live adults. Im currently procrastiating studying for my last 2 finals :)

You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again...So why bother in the first place? Just this: what is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above.
One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer but one has seen. There is an art to conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.
