I'm almost there. It hasn't been easy, but not so hard either. That's the funny thing about life. If one thinks of something prior to experiencing it, it can appear overwhelming. Once completed, however, one looks back and it can seem, eventually, as though it never happened at all. I suppose that's what helps get us from point "A" to point "B" in life and is a major reason we are so resilient. Anyway, not there yet, but close. It's not easy being cheesy!
