Wow that was just two years ago. Why does it feel like 10, but yet last week. That picture was taken at a pep rally when I was in highschool. I never really like those things. We were actually making fun of people who did, but hey we were having fun doing that. We had a lot of fun actually. But I don't think I knew how great those times really were.
I'm not here to look back into my past and lament about it. No.
I want to appreciate the good times I had, have, and will have. I want to learn how to live. Like I did that day. I wasn't worrying about midterms, finals, bills, or anything for that matter. At that place and time I was content. I was in the moment. How many times can we say we are really in the moment. Probably right now reading this, we're thinking about the work we should be doing, the stuff we need to get done, the people we need to call, and everything else but dwelling in this moment we are fortunate to have.
I want to change this. I just pray that I can start enjoying every moment of my every day. Even when I'm sitting home on a Friday night. Let me not get angry that I'm not out having a blast, because right there, I'm losing that moment. Let me enjoy being alone, things not going as planned, losing things, forgetting things, and bad days. Let me enjoy life. Help me God, to learn how to live!
