Well here it goes! I am going to be a blogger. Maybe this will help me fill my time now that I have so much of it.
The first thing I want to post about is life, and all its stages. First of all, I'm certain that days get shorter and years fly by the more you grow up. Serious! I feel like the first like 17 years of my life took FOREVER, and now the last few have gone by in a couple blinks. Pretty sure this is going to be scientifically proven sometime soon. If not, I might have to help research along with a scientific discovery of my own.
Which is why it is so important to treasure each moment of your life! It makes me so sad when people are not happy with the time of life they are in. We will never achieve happiness if we don't create happiness on our own. Sure, we can't be extremely happy every single day, but we can strive to be as happy as we can on MOST days. This means accepting the time of life we are in, and enjoying it to the fullest.
The worst category of upset people are those in Utah County who believe that life will not be worth anything until they are married. So many people have said to me that I'm so lucky I'm married, with a sad, faraway look in their eyes. Funny thing is, there are times when I wish I wasn't married! Don't get me wrong; I love my husband, and I am so happy that we are married. But sometimes, husbands just don't measure up to a group of girls giggling about the guys they like, staying up late watching chick flicks and watching sappy romantic movies that bring tears to the eye. I must admit, my husband has watched some pretty sappy movies with me, and he has even liked some of them okay. But he doesn't crave more tears after a sad story like The Notebook or feel his heart flutter when the main characters finally kiss. It's just not the same watching a chick flick with a man. Husbands are quite wonderful when you realize that you've actually lived a fairy tale, and that he is your knight in shining armor, and you become very grateful that you are no longer on that hunt for the perfect man, wishing that he would ask you on a date. Although, I still dream about my wedding day on occasion.
Anyway, my main thing is, be happy with where you are at in life. Everyone can work on this a little bit. I challenge you to try to make the most of your life as it is, and let yourself be happy with whatever you have been given. It's worth it!
