Graduation!

This is a special time for young and not so young alike. The wearing of cap and gown is something most only do once in their life and it is so full of symbolism.

I attended the graduation of my nephew yesterday....so glad I was able to witness this group of confident yet fearful youngsters. I am happy for each of them to have made it through their years in high school and wish them all the luck and courage they will need to make the best decisions they can in the lives.

May we all "graduate" today from the things that may have been holding us down and make great choices in the days ahead.

  1. Wonderful outlook. Perhaps life is just a long series of graduations, some small, others momentous. Found you accidently in the etsy forum re: blog ratings. Had to go to your shop (with hopes of finding your blog address)...your shop and your art is lovely.

    thank you for finding me and taking the time to write a comment. I just checked out some of your info....Bradenton!!?!?!?! My inlaws used to winter in Sarasota so I am somewhat familiar with your area.
    I like your attitude, we create because of the kids in us.....how true. I play all day (and into the night)
    Please check in often, have a great day!
