    I'm so jeolous! As a "soccer mom", that is currently a pre-nursing student, that is "too old" to ever realize the dream, I would LOVE to have "just one shot" as a flight

    Thanks...... I love your analogies! I know that I can do this... I guess sometimes, as you said, you just have to remember to focus on "the tree in front of you". Thanks, again, and good luck in...
