Last Day Ruminating...

I should be putting the finishing touches on my paper, but as usual, I'm procrastinating...thinking over the past several days and all that has transpired in Building 31 and beyond...

At the risk of over-dramatizing our two short weeks together or our imminent departure, I'd like to share a portion of a favorite song from favorite musical:

I've heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason, bringing something we must learn - and we are led to those who help us most to grow if we let them, and we help them in return. Well, I don't know if I believe that's true - but I know I'm who I am today because I knew you...Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes a sun...like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the wood...who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you, I have been changed for good. ("Because I Knew You" - Wicked)

I can honestly say, "I do believe I have been changed for the better!"

Thank you all for allowing me to learn from you -
It has been tremendous fun!
Julie
