Several have asked me “How does it feel to be done?” So far, the strongest emotion since finishing my “Guided Research Paper,” hence my Master’s degree, is RELIEF! Joy is intermingled every now and then, but here it is two weeks later, and the strongest feeling is still simply relief.
Other emotions will eventually surface, but for now I am just relieved to be done. I had a real day off last Monday, the first Monday that I wasn’t working on my paper in ages. I have promised Dottie and Katherine that my desk will be cleaned off by the end of May.
Gratitude
A second strong emotion I’m feeling is gratitude. God is good, and so are you! Thank you for your kind words, cards, gifts, and your many kind expressions. I know you’ve been praying for me, and you’ve been rooting for me even as you have been patient with me. This is a ten year journey we’ve been on! On Saturday, May 2nd, that journey officially ended, as I was granted my degree. Now, you are celebrating with me. I appreciate your support more than words can say.
