Today, my brother's 56th birthday, is also a big day for me. I am finally done with all of my coursework to earn my Assistive Technology Specialist Certificate. No, it is not a "degree". But it was the same amount of work as a degree in my mind. After 25 years of avoiding college classes like the plague, I went back to college. I did the work, wrote the papers, took the tests and attained my certificate with a 4.0 G.P.A. Yeah, it was one or two classes at a time, but it was after 25 years of NO college work. I am very proud of myself. I feel like I stretched. I feel like I proved something to myself. I am happy to be done with it but so happy that I even tried to do it.
All is well on the home front too. Duane is home from Canada and it just feels so good to have him back. On the way home, his bosses called him to tell him they were renewing his work visa for England and I am so hoping they won't try to send him back there to "live". If he had to go back for a month to work and then could work for a couple of months at home, I would be okay with that. But I would not be okay with him going there to "live" and come home "occasionally".
Christmas is upon us. I am in the "mood" for Christmas although I don't have the money for Christmas. All is good with me and my family. I feel blessed and know that I am loved by so many people. I love so many people. When it is all said and done, isn't that what it is all about?
