A small respite from BCT (Hello again from Rai)

Today, being both Anniversary Day and Christmas, seems an appropriate day to drop in and say hello to the community here at TOTJO. I've missed you all a great deal. It has only been a month, but it feels like longer.

I'd like to start by saying hello and welcome to all those who have joined since my absence. It is always nice to see new members here at TOTJO. I wish the best to all of you and hope to converse with you at some point in the future.

My time at BCT has been trying. It tests me physically, mentally and spiritually. I've been growing in all of these areas and the rest of my time at basic will continue to help me become a better person and a better Jedi.

Jediism has helped me get through some tough times and it helps me maintain my convictions and remind me who I am, where I come from, and what I stand for. I'd like to thank all of the people here at TOTJO for aiding in my growth as a Jedi and human being. I appreciate the kindness, tolerance and support from the Temple's members, from Knight to Guest. I look forward to my future growth and to helping others on their journeys as well.

Thank you,
Merry Christmas,
Happy Anniversary Day,
and May the Force be with you,
Rai

RAI! *hugs*

I was wondering if they gave you the break over the holidays

Keep your head up! You've got this

(BTW you have a letter headed your way)

May the Force be with you!

It is nice to see the forum message from you Rai ...

I hope your BCT is going well, and that you are finding it an interesting loop in your hero's adventure.

The Temple is still here, still alive and we're keeping your place warm.

We've even kept your tea-cup for you.

Que la Force t'accompagne sur ton chemin.

Keep rowing that oar, brother. Find that untouchable place within you.
