A Nod To Spo...

If you haven't read Spo's latest post on The Hero/Heroine's Journey, please do so. When I think about what I've done and how I've changed over the past year or so, I can't help but get a little emotional. It's like, "What the hell have I done?" 

Maybe it's finally hitting me what I've accomplished... for me it's The Impossible Dream

To dream the impossible dreamTo fight the unbeatable foeTo bear with unbearable sorrowAnd to run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrongAnd to love pure and chaste from afarTo try when your arms are too wearyTo reach the unreachable star
This is my questTo follow that starNo matter how hopelessNo matter how far
To fight for the rightWithout question or pauseTo be willing to march, march into HellFor that Heavenly cause
And I know if I'll only be trueTo this glorious questThat my heart will lie peaceful and calmWhen I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for thisThat one man, scorned and covered with scarsStill strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachableThe unreachableThe unreachable star
And I'll always dream the impossible dreamYes, and I'll reach the unreachable star

  1. Yes, you should be super proud of all you've done!! You retired early, got yourself physically and mentally in top shape and so much more all through difficult family situations. I'm very happy for you and you do need to celebrate your accomplishments!!
