Funny title, huh? Well, no. Not the way I'm thinking about it. A very important thought crossed my mind this morning, when I read the clock and reminded myself that it was indeed daylight savings time and I had an extra hour...I thought about time.
Now normally that extra hour would be something I would usually cherish in bed, but without hesitation I got up and spent the extra hour on the couch with my family before they all got ready for church. Time. Time is the only thing I feel like I have plenty of, but can never get enough of. I constantly feel it slipping away. And I'm only 22! In three years, according to most biology books, I will be finished growing. My body and mind will have done everything it set out to do. And for the next 5 years afterward, I will be at the top of my game.
I realized, in the midst of all my problems with friends and finances, finding work, worrying about the upcoming holidays, trying to decipher what I should wear to work on Monday for halloween, how perfectly acceptable my life is right now. And how happy I am. Not, smile-on-your-face type happy, but like, "content with the world" happy.
I have so many things. I have a 12-string which I have cherished for most of my musical career. A cute, furry cat. A few really good, really close friends. And dreams! So many dreams. Hypotheticaly, If I could strap all of that on my back and tarvel the world, I would.
So I want a guy? Doesn't everybody want someone. And the sad truth? Even if I find a guy and get married, there will still be somebody out there still trying to find the right person for them. I guess what I'm trying to say is, everything has its season. So what's my rush? It's a beautiful day out there. And yeah, I have to work but I also GET to make money.
So this morning I got up, instead of lying in my warm bed, but I got to see my brothers and play with them for a while.
Yeah, I know life could be better. and that's the best part--things will not always be this way. So I'm going to cherish it for right now, just the way it is.
