So, another year has passed and i feel so much smarter! Well, a little smarter but definitely more confused! It's such a great feeling to have yet another year over but I am still looking ahead to two more years.
I've been trying to learn to live in the moment. It was brought to my attention last year that I have a tendancy to look forward (If ____ happens, then I'll be so much happier). I have to learn to be content living in the present. In social work we call it being fully present. It's been a very difficult thing to learn. Especially when we are taught as a culture to look forward to the next big thing. What happens when we are finally happy with our lives as we live them today? This has become especially difficult in the past couple of months trying to plan my next internship and looking forward to the end of my time in the social work school. I've even noticed it with my relationship with J.D (see the below post). I am constantly thinking ahead instead of simply being with him. To be happy with today is to be happy.
So, everyday I remind myself that today might be all I have -why not live like it? This is my challenge to you.
