1 Down... 5 To Go...semesters that is.... It really doesn't even matter - I mean it does, but isn't this life... it always feels like a count down - one more year until X, 4 more months until Y, and I caught myself just today thinking, as I was talking to my Bestfriend about a trip coming up in three weeks... I was thinking about planning another one with her... WHY CAN'T WE JUST APPRECIATE THE MOMENT?!!!!
I mean, we'd like to think we do, we soak it all up and tuck it away in a safe place in our hearts and minds, but (and especially this day in age) we are just expecting the 'next best thing' to happen. Or maybe that's just me? :)
Answer you say? Well, I don't really have one, but I do know that graditude takes you far places and invites additional moments of sucess and happiness into our lives. Gratitude alsos keep you in the moment and unveils the reality of your life, good or bad.
I guess my point, if I do have one, is that the melody of our lives depends on our prespective of our lives. The key to having keen perspective is living in reality.If we are waiting for the next best thing, then were are not living in the present and therefore not living in reality. On the other hand, if our reality is reeling it's ugly head and we'd rather be elsewhere people always say, "put it in perspective." It comes full circle. We can be in the darkest place but with the correct tune we can realize that not only are we imperect but in that same light we are eloqently perfect. If you think about all of the things that are imperfect in nature and this lifetime just due to the simple fact that they made by nature (or man) and then you think about how intrinsicly perfect our bodies are to maintain homeostatis in the face of adversity you realize you can overcome anything that comes your way. You sorta start saying "Bring it on" (but not really... that was enough, I'd just like to relax right here right now). The melody or tune of your life is that much brighter because you've accepted yourself for who you are and what you've been through that brought you to this moment, right here right now, and that's how you realize you're ok, life is ok. We may not be perfect, but neither are diamonds. Diamonds aren't even pretty until they've been roughed up a bit on the outside to reveal the truth within. If you ask me, diamonds are pretty dang amazing, just like you.
