In a word.....Rest
I'm thoroughly enjoying taking time to breathe, and to be still a bit over this next week. Summer has flown by, and I have a thousand things on my mind that are quickly approaching this fall, but I'm not letting myself think about them yet, at least not until next week. So my basically one week of summer vacation is going to be spent getting some sun and swimming at Lindsey and Kim's pool, playing with my dog, working a little, babysitting a little, and reading some for fun.There are so many times in the past where I have felt like I was just sort of sitting back observing and watching life happen; times where I have felt like a spectator rather than an actual participant in just life in general. It's nice now because while I'm not off doing anything especially extraordinary right at this moment, I definitely feel like I am whole heartedly being a participant and living fully each day, even if not too much is actually being done. So often I've been waiting for things, ie saying "well when this happens.....or when fall comes, or spring, or when I graduate".......we are constantly waiting for the next "big thing" to come, and in the mean time we are missing all the moments right now where we are fully able to live in the now. Just something I've been thinking about and really trying to do, especially since I know this next year is going to fly by, and I don't want to waste my last year of college with too many thoughts about "what's next".
