As June is on it's way out I sit here an wonder where did it go? This has got to be the fastest a month has past before my eyes in recent history. There are still a lot of changes on my horizon. It seems that this year is just chok-full of them. It is for the best though. I may be on the verge of a major shift and returning back to school (finally!). I am excited at the prospect of learning anew and hitting those books. This time around I will make sure I hold a GPA of at least a 3.5. The sky is the limit.
This past weekend I had the privilege of reconnecting with an old friend. I attended his younger brother's high school graduation and instead of boredom, inspiration was my destination that day. Sitting in the halls of Hofstra University I was reminded of the role of continuing education. The speaker, whose name escapes me at the moment, drove home the importance of living a full life and giving the young (more like babies) graduates advice on how important their next 4-6 years will be. I was reminded of my own youth, and that although I may feel older at times, I am still only breaking through the shell of this vast egg of maturation and journey we call life.
Fast forward to that night I sat with friends and those I consider family enthralled in a perfect mix of grilled food, the smell of burning charcoal dying in the wind, great company, and even better weather. We ate until our stomachs were about to burst, laughed until our sides hurt,and debated about the newly instated Gay Marriage bill in NY among other things. Although for the first time we didn't dance the night away, I can take solace in the medicinal scratch of my mosquito bites and think what a great way to start the summer...
