Paper Bow Ties

YO WHAT UP?! Welcome back for the Sunday Funday update.

Hope you are having an excellent Sunday afternoon, because I know I am. The weather isn't too hot, or too cold, and the clouds are roaming across the sky, but it isn't dark and gloomy. Everything is green, the breeze is blowing, and right now, I think I could easily say that I could spend forever in a moment like this.

Today, I was able to play in the worship band at church again, and I can't get over how much I love praisin' and singin' with the rest of the band. We always have fun, and we always mess around, but I always go into with all of our hearts and minds. And I love it.

It's been a good weekend, and today I drive back to school for the last time. Three more weeks and it will all be over (even though after the amount of homework I've done this weekend, it feels like it should be over). But I've been doing a lot of thinking this weekend, while I've had time to relax, and I've turned over a couple rocks in this old brain of mine.

I know I don't really know that much about life, and I know I've got a lot to learn. But I realized, at least for now (I may look back on this in a few years and laugh as you might be doing right now), but I realized you can't stop living to remember what was. You can't stop living to wonder how someone else is living, and forgot about how far you need to go.

This morning, while we were playing, it was always the next chord, the next note. Don't worry about what key you hit before, what chord you strummed away at...keep going. It doesn't matter how much coffee you spilled; it's a matter of cleaning it up and moving on. It doesn't matter who you were before, it's about who you are going to be now.

As the semester draws to a close and summer creeps around the corner, I'm ready to embrace whoever it is I'm on my way to be. And I'm ready for new adventures, new faces, new experiences, new music, and new days. New mornings to wake up to the smell of coffee, work to do, things to paint, places to go, books to read, letters to write, and people to explore the universe with...oh, and blog posts to create.

And you keep moving forward, because you don't know what you will find in the next step. It's like Walt Disney said, "Keep moving forward". It's one to live by, and one to remember when you don't want to move forward.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, my paper bow ties, and keep going. I believe in you.
