Wow, it feels really weird I admit. I'm going to be graduating in 8 days and then off to graduate school.  I don't think my mind has quite grasped this concept and it still feels like some kind of limbo state due to my final exam/paper stresses still looming in front of me like a tide wave at its peak.  But once it crashes down on me it will eventually pass over and though I may have some disorientation from the undertow, I know when I come back to the surface the vast openness of the ocean/world will be all too real.  I honestly am feeling pulled in all sorts of ways and don't know which current God is gonna use in my life.  I just hope it doesn't swirl too much and make a whirlpool of death before I get there.

That said and done, I really hope to keep updating for you guys. I have so many art pieces in the process and many still on the back-burners of my brain.  But with all this uncertainty I don't know when they'll all get up.  I ask your patience (you faithful few that still read these) and I'll do my best to not face-plant as I try to take to the skies.  Thank you for all your comments, stories, smiles, and just being there for me over the years.

I know they talk about the uncertainties of life and to only take one day at a time. I have to remind myself not to stress too much by looking at the big-picture in life and getting overwhelmed.  And perhaps if my self-efficacy was in a better state than it is that would help, but I suppose the only way to survive this next wave is to hold my breath, dive under and plow through.
