#onelife

HEY GUYS!
It’s been so long since I’ve written and I sincerely apologize!

So just a little update on my life, I am currently living at home again, seeing as school is out for summer! And since coming home I have been extremely blessed by God in the job area of my life. I have received full time employment at my church working in the Children’s department. As well I talked to my previous boss and she has welcomed me back onto staff to work as a lifeguard this summer again. And as a full time student the more money I can make the better.

So I have been thinking lately and just realizing how incredibly short life is. And more than that the reality of not being able to go back and do things over again is really hitting me. And as I come to this realization it is making me really want to take every opportunity given to me. Because who knows if I will ever have this chance again. For instance looking back at my high school years I really wish I had gotten more involved. You know been on a sports team, or student council, or somehow found a way to be involved because now I am realizing that those things I can NEVER have the opportunity to do again. Which is sad but that’s in the past and there is no point in dwelling on that instead I need to learn from that.

So that makes me think for my life and all the things I want to do in my life I really need to get going on those things. Because I don’t want to be old and wrinkled and look back on my life and wish I had done more, I want to get to the end of my life and truly be able to say I have lived a full life.

So what is it you guys want to do with your one, precious, incredible, but short life?
Drop me a line!
