This evening after cleaning up from the pity party, I decided to do a little Blogsurfing....One of my favorite photblogs PEACE of MY MIND had posted this a while back. Talk about timing!!

When I first read Leesa's posting......I was able to relate the words to what I am feeling today about my PhD. But....as I linked back thru the link titled Laura I found a new read :) Great BLOG...take a meander thru her postings. I also linked back to this, and read the expanded version of Leesa's words. What I found most enlightening was how a discussion on "existence" has many applications. In my narrow concentration this eve, I had applied it to my lifes purpose......in the origin of "the story" it relates to the bigger picture of a lifes journey.

Thank you Leesa....Laura....and Kerismith :)
