I hope they all gave you a standing ovation as you crossed the finish line! <br /><br />You're right -- this IS like climbing Mt. Everest. It very much reminds me of the time I (sorta-kinda-accidentally) climbed Mt. Fuji in Japan. Talk about being utterly unprepared. http://www.phoenixrevolution.net/archives/295 But man...there's nothing that felt so completely proud of myself. And exhausted and hurting. But knowing without a doubt that the person that came down the mountain is the same person that started up it. Your journey reminds me of the same thing.Christinehttp://www.phoenixrevolution.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323682648004382178.post-46490109603072394792010-08-18T08:02:31.007-07:002010-08-18T08:02:31.007-07:00Congratulations, Alan.
