The Journey

I sit now in my office, typing on this keyboard as pandora is playing my favorite ingrid mix, and I am reflecting... I have just finished with my last clients at Ball State and it is bitter sweet. Today's clients were my long term clients with whom I have grown as a person and clinician. We challenged each other, and together took risks despite the intimidating vulnerability accompanying it. We are all travelors on this journey, and although we are now departing to continue this journey towards differing destinations, I feel blessed to have experienced such meaningful companionship. Today is sad, and our relationship feels to be terminating prematurely, yet reasonably so. I discussed with them graduation; not an academic graduation, but a personal one. It is a celebration and their personal growth this year and this growth should be illuminated as they are now more prepared for life's obstacles and are ready for the next phase of life's unpredictable journey. I will never know of their future successes or failures, but I wish them well. Quite similiarly, I too feel that my next phase of the journey is coming prematurely. This feeling is accompanied by insecurities, saddness, and excitement. Although I know that some of my relationships will cease upon my expedited migration, I hope that others will continue to burgeon.

Hmm, 1st post...

So this is my first post. I could try to make this some awesome words of wisdom that really encapsulate what I'm experiencing in my life right now; however, it would be my luck that just after writing it, it would be forever lost due to my inexperience in writing blogs. So, this is a test. It is only a test. Had it been an actual blog, you would have experienced much more pleasure in reading it.
