Weekend

So here is a two-for-the-price-of-one deal:

Saturday and Sunday's posts in one! :)

I spent this weekend with a wonderful friend and had a wonderful time. It wasn't until I left, however, that I truly appreciated my time with her. I realized that I was feeling that ache in the pit of my stomach--missing the times when she was just down the hall, instead of a 2 hour car ride away. I feel like I enjoyed my college years to the fullest, yet, when I looked back I wish I would have realized what I had, when I had it.

Why is it that we only appreciate what we have when we no longer have it?

New resolution: enjoy every moment and don't take anything for granted.

I am happy with where I am, what I'm doing, and who is currently in my life. I am so happy that I am able to still visit and talk with friends from my past, while making new friends as well.

My prayer, as a result from this weekend: Lord, Please help me to recognize the amazing blessings you have placed in my life, both past and present. Help me to better see the blessings that are right before me each and every day. Help me to be more thankful for what you have given me and the opportunities that arise through you. Thank you. Amen.
