so, I am in the mood to journal...

"Every man dies, but few men really live".... A quote that a very dear person challenged me to think about... so I was in Chemistry... got totally lost in what my prof. was saying, therefore I thought it to be a good time to meditate on this quote...

and what I found my self thinking was that, yes, I understand that everyman dies... but then I asked myself what it meant to live... so I compiled a few thoughts...

(in no specific order)

- be the best I can be
- be happy and don't let things that don't really matter in the grand scheme of things ruin a day that I have the opportunity to live
-look at each day as an opportunity
-to love the strongest and hardest that I can... (made me think of a line in a country song.. "I'm gonna love you, like it's the last day of my life...") haha
-to be a light to the world and shine as bright at the Lord enables me to
-have faith enought to move mountains
-make a difference... world changing or one life changing
-serve the best and hardest that I can
-encourage strangers randomly
-laugh at everything... good or bad that comes along
-appreciate the little things more
-appreciate the big things more
-see new things and new places
-face fears (heights, snakes, disapproval, rejection... ect.) .... "Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will take care of itself...." (I don't remember the reference)
-to have my steps orderd of the Lord... always!
-to surprise people
-not miss a sun rise or sunset
-to take a positive advantage of every opportunity, and celebrate it to it's highest potential

And so after I make this list I took an acessment... and I do get the opportunity to live quite a few of these out, which is really awesome... but there is always room for more... and then some of these I flat out don't even think about... so, yeah, just kindof a internal view of one of my goals... to live!

Anyways, this semester is almost over, and It's kinda bitter sweet... I am not gonna miss the classes but there are a couple of friends that I have made that I don't know I will ever see again... my friend ZuZu, she is from Turkey, totally awesome girl... and then there is Chad, poor guy had to teach me so much... lol, he is a friend that is about to go off to dent. school... and the to cute for his own good guy got his degree in Chem. so, yeah, his knowledge was so welcomed! Along with him being a pretty awesome guy... and then there is this couple in my chem. class... God lov'em.... there are fun to just sit back and watch... and then there is this guy that audits our Chem class... Sky thinks he is an angel... but he has just been so awesome to Sky and I in just being patient in helping us understand things.... anyways, I could go on... but I won't... haha... so yeah, things are gonna be a bit different! But I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO looking forward to New Orleans!! WHoo Hoo!! I will write more about that trip in a bit... but for now... I am gonna pass out!

Blessings!!
