“Today I become a grown up.” – Grey’s Anatomy

This has always been my favorite speech. I was watching Grey’s Anatomy this afternoon and once again the episode with this fantastic graduation speech was on and it really stuck with me.






“Today’s the day my life begins. Today I become a citizen of the world. Today I become a grown up. Today I become accountable to someone other than myself and my parents. Accountable for more than my grades. Today, I become accountable to the world. To the future. To all the possibilities that life has to offer. Starting today, my job is to show up wide eyed and willing and ready. For what, I don’t know. For anything. For everything. To take on life. To take on love. To take on the responsibility and possibility. Today, my friends, our lives begin. And, I for one can’t wait.”








It just makes me think of the next steps son is taking, that we will be sharing in the journey. Just made me think. Almost like it was meant for me to see today. Today .. when are down to 20 days.

Just Me
