transitions stink, pee yoo!

As I sit here on my big wrap around couch and try to finish The Promise by Chaim Potok so I can write my essay on it for next week; I come to a new chapter section and the quote underneath, introducing the next book reads, "All beginnings are difficult"-the Midrash. This was a comfort to me and a needed bit of (indiscreet) advice. Earlier today I was sitting on my floor chanting inner peace as a meditation exercise. About 90% of the time though, I was thinking of how much I am not at peace and that am thinking about everything EXCEPT these words I am supposed to be saying right now! I am full of anxiety, doubts, fears as i begin a semester of college yet again. But I will try try try to remember that all beginnings are difficult and to give myself some grace to fall back on when I just want to curl up and cry. I am determined to give it the good fight! I am resolved now, thank you for inner peace.
