I think I'm overwhelmed at all the amazing accomplishments that my friends and family members are experiencing...If I haven't said congratulations to you- yes you- know that I am sitting here basically in amazement at all that is going on around me. There is no substitute to a heartfelt private message, but I'm just so overwhelmed that I've hardly been able to take it all in. Maybe I'm a little or a lot envious as well! But I know we are all on different paths and there's no way one person can do everything...so here are some examples of things that have been amazing me. See if you can find yourself here...if I miss something it's probably because I'm so jealous that I've locked your accomplishment out of my mind so I won't go crazy.
1) BABIES! being born, being announced and gender-revealed. I think a girl-comeback is in the works.
2) uh. Marriages. So. Many. They are all miracles and so wonderful and I can't keep up with the congratulations.
3) Degrees. J.D.s, Masters in teaching, Masters in Museum Studies, and so many more. I'm in awe. You all inspire me.
4) People getting into amazing schools and graduate programs. This one hurts because I want this really bad for myself! You all inspire me so much. Especially you crazies going to Law School (Lauren H. I want to know what your big change of plans are) and studying art history and museum studies. You all are so accomplished.
5) People going on international adventures...France and Africa.
6) Birthdays. I fail. Can't keep up. Happy Birthday!
7) New jobs...the kind where you actually get a salary and benefits...wouldn't that be nice?
So to all of you: Congratulations! You amaze me. Sorry I haven't been on top of it enough to tell you that individually.
