Take a step back

Wow best day of my life! Have you ever had the burden of something on you and then all of a sudden it is gone? Yep that happened to me today! I have been stressing out so badly on how i am going to pay for spring semester this year... it has been a huge damper the past little bit and it finally left! I was so excited to go to MCC yesterday and pay it down right off! YAY! I cannot believe that this semester is almost over though it is amazing to me how fast time goes by. Recently i was thinking about how fast time goes and how quickly things change in this life and decided that i missed the good old days when we worried about where our bouncy ball went not our calculator for math class, where the letter from the school that said who our teacher was at the beginning of the year and not where our packets of homework to do over the summer went. Being 10 min early for school so you could play on the playground, now if i had a extra 10 min it is packed with either homework or sleeping. I miss waking up on Christmas morning excited because Santa came, or on Easter because we could go find the eggs. It is good to grow up, don't get me wrong, but what about all the good times when we were kids. Being in college is so much fun but at the same time you have so much to think about. what your degree is going to be, where are you going to go, how are you going to pay for school, what are you gonna wear, what are you going to do on the weekends, who are you going to be friends with and everything else. One thing that also hit me while thinking about this is the sweet spirit of a young child. The kind and loving to everyone person that they are, if only this traveled throughout our lives with us. I learned this past week to just take a step back and let life take its coarse! Sometimes you need to direct it other times just let the wheel turn where it may.
