I’ve been thinking a lot about what I was really put on this earth to do. For me, this is more of a practical question than a religious question, though I do not mean to imply practicality and spirituality are mutually exclusive. I suppose many of us traverse through life hoping to find the one thing that finally makes life CLICK into place. Thing is, I don’t think we can just hope to find it.

We had a horrible scare Tuesday night. I got a call from my son saying something about blood and an ambulance had just arrived. (It ends up he was saying his sister turned blue; nothing about blood.) All is OK now. It was terrifying and horrible and THANK GOD all is good now.

Wahoo! We’ve made it this far. Completed a full semester of law school and seem to have suffered no major damage. Civ Pro final went well, I think. Guess I won’t know for sure until next month sometime. At any rate, I had answers that seemed in the realm of correctness and didn’t panic, or draw a blank or anything like that. First real test since high school. I went to the Evergreen State College for my undergraduate education...
