I wonder how many valuable experiences are lost when I don’t allow myself to become involved in them. Especially right now. I had a wonderful year at college, and am looking forward to going back in the fall. I spend so much time looking forward to it that I sometimes check out of my present life.
Even while I am doing something, my mind wanders to the exciting future. I lose focus on what is in my hands and dream about what can happen later. I am especially prone to do this when life isn’t easy and I don’t like what I am doing. This is a bad habit to get into. I don’t want to train myself to simply skip out on the hard stuff. Doing hard things is when you learn.
Live now. Take advantage of everything you are doing today. There are many lessons and skills that can be learned by what is happening right now. Why short yourself on life? It only happens once.
Hey Garrett,
How have you and your family been? It’s been a long time.
That’s so funny you saw us at Wal-Mart! lol. And of all days too. What a crazy day that was…We don’t usually shop at that one, but happened to be in that area because we were out that way doing other things. That’s neat we were there at the same time.
So, how have you been? When do you start college again? I see you are looking forward to going back. I like your post. I think what you said can be applied to lots of things…
Good to hear from you.
God bless,
~~Brooke.
Hey,
So, it’s ten more days here before you leave back for Canada? That’s good that you enjoy it up there…
Yes, I am still working on a correspondence course in Bible. I am hoping to go to Bob Jones next fall.
Thank you very much. You have a very nice blog yourself, even though you should write more!
How’s Keleigh (I think I spelled her name right?) doing by the way? It’s been forever…
