Life is a marathon. Sure, it's hokey, but sometimes after running and running for miles and miles it's time to take a breather. Give me some bench time Coach, I can't keep up. I'm not one who easily sits it out or takes those extra minutes in the box. I feel like slowing down is failing. Not so my friends, not so. At least that's what I'm repeatedly telling myself. I'm working hard and I'm working a lot. But for what? What's the point of saving up, hoarding, whatever if once in awhile I don't enjoy it? There was a talk given by President Thomas S. Monson, prophet and president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints entitled "Find Joy in the Journey". Sure, I'm in transit from somewhere to somewhere else. But you still have to enjoy the scenery on the way. In fact, you
need to enjoy the scenery along the way if only to maintain sanity.
So here's to cutting loose, not being the "responsible" one (of course, I still plan to behave myself), and living to the fullest. Life's already started so it's time to start living! And these are the girls that are going to help me starting this weekend.
I've had these moments of abandonment, Ireland being one of them. Craziest thing I ever did. Learned a lot about myself. And I had those experiences because I sat one out and had some fun.
Geeze, when did I become a walking cliche?
