day twenty-eight!

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we are in the home stretch! Coming around the corner is Claire Seaton, wearing a brown cardigan, purple tights, brown belt, white infinity scarf, and grey flats!  She's doing the Project not to reach the finish line on October 31, but for the sake of running the race itself.  She's not doing the Project just to check off another box, or to put on college applications, but for a much greater purpose than that.  

She needs to remind everyone of that.  And she needs to remind herself of that.  

While wearing sweatpants to school on November 1 is going to be great, it's not the goal.  

There's a phrase I always misquote, something about the journey being half of the destination.  And yeah, it's true.  I don't get a medal for this.  I don't get a congratulations pen from the principal.  Rather, I get another pair of glasses through which I am able to see the world.  

Happy Monday, everyone.
