Love Life and DON'T take it for Granted

[ollie1086]

Life seems to be getting better but I find it weird how every time anyone starts to get better something bad happens. Today, for example, was going great, got lots of sleep, did most of my homework, classes were pretty good, I went outside with Lorna to take her to work and my tire is flat. To make things worst, it’s one of my new tires that I just replaced the weekend after Mission Trip. There is only one good thing about it, since it’s a new tire, it’s still under warranty so I can get a new one for free (I believe). I consider this to be something you can use to explain many things that go on every day. Every thing is going just peachy king and life is great, but then, all of a sudden, you get a flat tire. I know that when I just live the moment and let life do what it wants things are great and I am happier then I can ever even begin to expect. But then comes that flat tire, I start to look at things long term and try to optimize things so that I can get the best down the road. No matter how up things to be or how lovely things are, something always has to get in the way. Just when you think that you have all the corners figured out, an unexpected twist occurs changing the corners. I wish that time was more abundant and that distance wasn’t an issue. It’s impossible to predict how much time we really do have. I might live to be 150 years old or I might pass away tomorrow. I can not guaranty what the future has in store for me at all. Everything is on a day to day basis, and the moment is always lived so that it doesn’t pass me bye. Have fun while you still can and go out when you can with the ones you love. Try to stay happy because everyday above ground is a good day (I don’t remember who said that but it’s a good saying). I mean just think about it, you go around moping for a day, you are mad at the world, you don’t talk to any of your friends, everyone is worried about you, and then you get into an unexpected accident (vehicular or otherwise) later that evening. Just sit back and think about this (and remember to prepare for the worst); worst case scenario: you don’t pull through the accident very well. After six months of being in the hospital in a comma, you are so beat up that you are almost unrecognizable, the doctor comes out into the waiting room to inform family and friends alike that you have just past away. The last thing that everyone can remember about you was how upset you were that last day that you were you. They remember how you seemed like you were mad at them , how it seemed as if you didn’t care about any of them in the slightest and also came off in a way self-centered (even if you really were not, it is easy to come off that way)…my question is do you want the last thing everyone to remember you by to be the way were acting that day? or do you at least want to end on a good note (sad yes but smiling and showing that you were happy)? I know that life as its ups and downs, I know that it’s so hard some times that it is unbearable to you, but guess what, there are so many people that love you, care for you, pray for you, want you there the next day so that you can shed some light on them, that just want to be there for you. Trust, me I know that it is almost unbelievable at times, people that actually care for you is almost hard to believe at times. I know that I have gone through times of my life when I thought that so I know how that it is hard to believe, but I was wrong every time, and you know what, you might wrong, too. They want you to be ok and get through life and be happy, and I am sure that they would be willing to help you out, and even if they can’t give you advice it does help to be able to talk about it. Life is so short and time is precious. Do not go through life wondering how it cud have been or what you could have done better. Do what makes you happy, enjoy the life that you got, praise the Lord not only for having it but for providing for you, and don’t forget that you only have one chance.

P.S.
This is not directed to anyone. It takes me a little bit of time to write these journals. I started this one on Tuesday. The other one that I had done took me a few days to write. It’s kinda hard for me to just sit down and write one cuz of my lack of time.
