Two Words

Yesterday I received my assignment back from my professor and she, for the first time, summed my work up in two words.

Great Job!

I can't describe the emotional impact those two words had on me. Those two words told me volumes;

I'm making progress
I'm growing as a writer
I can do this... Become a writer that is.

Riding high on my wave of euphoria, I dreamt good dreams last night. I dreamt of becoming an accomplished writer, supporting my family with my earnings as a writer. I dreamt of projects I would work on, incorporating my love of photography in with my writing. I dreamt of businesses I would start, employing my children to work in my home "office" and becoming renowned in my family as being "finally successful".

Two words took me beyond my goals to places I never dared to dream of.

I've started working on my seventh assignment and I have two submissions going out this week. Since I've discovered that I need to write, write and write, I'm surfing my way to another accomplishment.

Great Job!

Two words with euphoric powers. Who knew?
