How I Spent My Summer
i spent my summer working...yet living...with every child's laugh i heard, with every smile on their face and every sound of their voice i saw God through each and every one of them...i spent my summer laughing...i laughed at every joke i heard every funny thing i saw like the hover round man riding down the street and the 70 year pimp in a pink hat and tux completed with the cane...i spent my summer crying...i cried when my niece olivia was born because i was happy and i cried when i thought my young heart would never mend...i cried when i got my new car because i was soo surprised and i cried when the person i trusted so much broke my trust...i spent my summer feeling the wind blow through my hair everytime i rode a horse at top speed...it was a great feeling...i spent my summer with the sun shining on my face and knowing each day i was alive which was more than other people had...i spent my summer meeting new people and experiencing feelings i never thought i had or feelings i thought i had lost...i spent my summer going to concerts, baseball games, basketball games, farmers markets, thift stores, weddings, pools, the mall and bowling...i spent my summer living each day to the fullest and telling everyone i talked to one positive thing...i spent my summer trying to keep a smile on my face at all times even when it was at it's hardest...i spent my summer driving around in my new car with the sun roof down and the radio blasting...i spent my summer being creative and getting in touch with my inner fashion designer...but most of all i spent my summer growing and learning...learning how to be more independent and learning how to fall for someone but also how to pick up the pieces when they get broken...i also learned that all things happen for a reason and that it's best to not think about the bad when it happens because the bad always gets you down...i learned how to move on and realize that the only way to move on is to push through the obstacles of life even though it seems that you aren't strong enough to make it...several times i've found myself dangling at the end of my rope but somehow i managed to tie a knot in it and hang on...i learned how to live this summer and as long as i live i'll never forget the summer when i was 17
