Life is going by so fast. I graduate college on May 6th, leave for training camp on June 7th, and prepare to leave and make new homes for 11 months in the first week of August.
Everyone around me is talking about how excited they are go graduate and how much everything is starting to hit them and becoming a reality that we will all be doing different things next year! I am very excited for all of these things to happen to me as well, it has not hit me yet. I am not upset about that, because I am trying to live in the moment.
I want to enjoy my last couple of months as a college student. I want to enjoy these last couple of months with my parents, family, friends, and of course my dog before I leave for a year.
The holidays were hard for me. I never really mentioned anything, but in the back of my mind, I would think about it every once in a while, “wow, I won’t be here next year to celebrate all these things.” Honestly, it allowed me enjoy the holidays a little more though, living in the moment that I have with them this year. When I found out that I was not going to be home this past Christmas to celebrate my mom’s side of the family Christmas I was devastated. I knew I wouldn’t be there next year, but also that is one of the only times my family is all together. I know I am not going away forever, but I know next year will be hard during those times. It made me realize how much I appreciate being with everyone.
Remember to live in the moment, don’t worry about what tomorrow holds, you might miss today!
I will leave you with this, Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
