Closing Thoughts
You may have noticed the circular pattern of our course. We started on a recipe for success...and we ended with "Tuesdays with Morrie," success, and a recipe for happiness. This was intentional. We always think of moving forward and the path that is in front of us.

Truth is--as you journey there will be stops and starts. There will be times when you might have to go off the path you carefully selected. You may feel like you are right back where you started. You may (likely) have detours. Embrace those too, as part of the journey, then get back on the path. As Albert Einstein said, “The number one reason why people give up so fast is because they tend to look at how far they still have to go instead of how far they have come."
“Reexamine all that you've been told. Dismiss what insults your soul.” Walt Whitman
This semester is closing...& that's bittersweet. I've grown to know you all over these past 17 weeks. You've found a place in my heart and I'll miss you and the connections made here. Continue to connect and appreciate people & nature, as much as screens and devices. And now, other things await you. You're going to do great things and the world needs all of your collective enthusiasm, hopefulness, irony, humor, and plain zest for living!
Be Happy.
Be Well.
Be Well.
And don't ever give up.
All the Best~~ Lisa
Life Lessons from some of my favorite American writers:
"I take to the open road. Healthy, free, the world before me."
Walt Whitman
"The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.” ~Tuesdays with Morrie
