The word accomplishment means different things to different people.

I was shopping for clothes the other day (I didn't buy any). In the dressing room next to mine I heard an older woman say to her daughter, "I can't believe a fourteen fits. I used to wear a twenty-two. You don't know how good that makes me feel."

If any of you have struggled with a weight problem you can relate to this woman. What a euphoric feeling you get with a sense of accomplishment.

Whatever obstacle you are up against, when you find the path to the finish line, you're elated and victory is sweet.

So keep on plodding. That light you see at the end of the tunnel is not a locomotive headed in your direction but the sunshine of a bright new day of accomplishment.

Congratulations.
