a big day...

...for my niece

as she experienced a promotion - to the legislative counsel - at her work place but more importantly - was sworn into the illinois bar - so her years of hard work - diligence at school and tenacity - with study have finally paid - off allowing her to practice law - something she has loved - since she was very young - to say i am a proud aunt - would be the classic understatement

in this day and age - when times are turbulent - uncertain and the climate of our times - so unclear and i sometimes wonder - what our young people are doing - it renews my faith - to see my niece - head bent, pen in hand - face focused and intent - to sign her attorney’s oath - all those years ago she had - a plan in place - a goal in mind - her eye on the prize - there was no diverting from - the task at hand - ever - she was determined, now successful - and that has made this...

a

happy day.....
