Mirror, mirror

I heard another great quote this week.  It was while I was finishing my grading for my students, the T.V. on for background noise, "Fried Green Tomatoes" floating in and out of my consciousness, truly a must see film for anyone who loves southern culture...

"Someone helped put a mirror up in front of my face and I didn't like what I saw one bit, and you know what I did? I changed." ~ Kathy Bates as Evelyn Couch

Exactly.  Time for change.  Time to step forward and begin the next phase of my life.  I'm excited for it.  I'm excited to see what I learn about myself.  It's empowering me... The fear is gone.  The awareness is acute.  I understand now what I needed to learn and I thank the persons who held that mirror up for me, though they did it unknowingly.  For I'm the one making the conscious choice to better myself and hopefully I'll succeed.
