The Grass is Always Greener...

I ran down to BYU's campus to use their track on Monday and discovered that it doesn't matter whether you are a student or a visitor the parking is always at the furthest point away from where you want to be. It was ok though, I figured I was there to excercise anyway so the extra long walk down to the Smith Field House would be good for me. I was walking through campus and watching the students go from class to class and I started realized that I missed it! I miss being a student! I don't necessarily miss the stress or homework, but I miss learning, going to class and listening to real experts in the field of Marriage, Family and Human Development. I got to thinking about how I was so excited to finally be done with school when I was there, and how I now desperately wish I could go back! Then I got to thinking about how my whole life has been this way. After I realized the track was closed and started making my way back up the RB stairs of death, I got to thinking how sad is it that I haven't let myself be really happy and content where I am at. I have always been looking at the next chapter, and not fully appreciating the current. I have decided that I am going to start living my life to the fullest and appreciate it for what it is. Why wait to get to the other side to realize how green the grass really is right now? It is so green and there is so much to be happy and grateful for. I have decided that every day I am going to do something, find something that I am grateful for, or do something new, actually cook something I see on the food network, serve someone, do something I've been putting off until "later" (whenever later is)...I don't know something to remember how good life is RIGHT NOW. If you have any fun ideas let me know.

P.S. On a totally different note, I can no longer get my photos to upload so I may be creating a new blog so keep an eye out. Or if someone can tell me why it keeps logging me out when I try to upload pictures that would be wonderful!
