I never realized how busy life could be. I completely missed some major milestones this past month because I was too busy creating a super germ with my cold from hell and the sick dogs at the humane society, going crazy with my friends, helping my car fight through her cancer, joining the 21st century, and doing dishes. The biggest milestone being that I've survived my first year out of college! (And knowing that the few adventures listed above are only a small sampling of the what I've done with my first year of academic freedom, it's a miracle that I've made it this far!)
The second big milestone was on May 13--My first blog post. I'm a little bummed that I missed that anniversary. I should have written some grand reflective blog and looked to the future of this site, but instead I think I was blowing enough snot out of my nose to open up a hospital for snails with mucus deficiencies.
I do have a lot of plans that I want to accomplish with my writing (both here in this blog and outside of it), but since this particular post is about getting caught up in life I'll keep on flowing along and leave those words to be written another time. That's what we do when we get swept up with life--we put off one thing in exchange to do something else, and sometimes we miss really excellent opportunities. But the nice thing about life is the fact that even better opportunities are usually right around the corner.
So, my question to you: What's something that you regret missing?
And my challenge to you: Slow down and take a breather from life if you need to--sometimes it can be overwhelming when your constantly on the move.
It's hard to take a breather from life when your nose is all stuffed up! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat is too true!
