Catching Up

Whew. Well, I epically failed to write a brief blog each month over the summer but here’s to catching up and having a few moments of downtime.

“Whelp,” as my grandpa randomly says. Wow. I did not expect things in life to go the way they have, especially for being in my favor. I cannot believe opportunities in my life have come up that I have actually wanted. Rarely do the things we want to happen, actually happen.

A few things come to mind as I have reflected here and there.

• Do the things you hate to do the things you love. Work.

• Learn to love the things you hate because you might end up loving it anyways.

• Forgive yourself and accept where you are at. Be patient.

• Remember your actions speak louder than words.

I do not claim to be a pro at any of these but these are ideas I have thought about. We are aware that life is short but I am not sure how much we actually believe that. There are areas in my personal life where I have made some big mistakes and turned out to be a hypocrite without even realizing it. In some ways that does not make me worthy of life’s blessings. But there is something out there that still sees myself and yourself worth blessing. This idea is where we should live.
