Holding On And Letting Go

Week 1

January 7, 2012

In the last year I have learned that life is one big balancing act.  

There are some things and events in life that are worth holding on to with dear life. 

And then there are other things that you don't have any control over.  

Things that are better off if you just let go of them.

This year I hope I live in a way that I let go of the little things that don't really matter.

This year I hope I live in a way that I hold on to the things that really truly matter.  

And never let those go.  

I am a college graduate!

Week 50

December, 16, 2011

The day I graduated college!

And a few other pictures...

Jody came to see me graduate too!

The last four and a half years have been such a whirlwind of emotions, trials, and triumphs.  But I am glad I went through each one of those.  They have molded me into the person I am today and I am grateful. 

{Week 49}

I meant to take a picture last week, but with multiple school projects and getting sick, it just didn't happen.  So here is week 49...a week late.

Either way--it is pretty exciting!

I am officially done with school!

No more studying, test, projects, or homework.

I am done!

Now it's time to celebrate!

WooHoo! 

Change

Yesterday was a rough day. Nothing particullary bad happened, I just realized there is a lot of change happening in my life. Change for my future. Instead of dwelling in my current activities, I need to focus on what lies ahead for me. I've learned the hard way that I can not do everything and that it is not healthy to spread myself too thin trying to cover everything that is expected and then some.

As I was realizing this yesterday a verse from a song came to mind. It is called Resolution by Nick Lachey.

I'm standing on the edge of my fear
And I see it clear
Here's my resolution
I'm letting go
All I need to learn is along this road
And I just want to be the best man I can be
Breathe, it's my resolution

Here we go...let's see how this year turns out....
