Life goes on.
That is the saying that has been told to many of the discouraged for hundreds of years. Whenever everything seems to be falling apart, or nothing seems to be going right, somehow people take hope in the fact that "Life goes on" and the situation is just temporary.
Recently there have been alot of things going on in my life. No situation is too terrible, but put together its rather unpleasant to wake up each morning and count down the minutes until I can come home and forget about another dreadfull day at school, work, or whatever activity that takes up so much of my every day life. I used to live by the motto, of, when things get tough remember that sooner than you think, the situation will pass and become just another memory.
I used to take much comfort in that until I realized, how fast time truly is passing by. Just yesterday it seemed that I was 5 years old and I couldn't go to sleep until mom and dad tucked me in and turned on my nightlight. Just yesteraday it seemed like I was "graduating" from the fifth to the sixth grade. I remember how important and old I felt when I was finally the oldest in the school, but soon realized that in a matter of months I would become the youngest once again. I remember, it was just yesterday that I was asked out by a boy for the first time. It was just a second ago that I had the final bow of my first high school performance. Wasn't it just a moment ago, that I was swimming in the pool with my friends, not giving a care about how crazy or silly I acted.
Time is our most precious gift. We spend so much time waisting it on "What if's", and we spend so much of our god-given time arguing with the people that we care about over things and issues, that in the end dont truly matter at all.
Time is passing faster than you realize.... take it, hold on to it, treasure it with all you have. For soon, it will vanish like the memories of the insignificant, yet so precious moments of the past that we forget to remember. Like what it felt like to get your first A... do you remember? Or how happy you were when you learned to swim, or ride your bike for the first time... have you forgotten? Or the moments when you played dress up, or you played with your toy cars and how great it felt to get that new barbie or car that you "Always wanted."

and a great motto to live by
i never really thought of it the way you are putting it, but it makes a lot of sense.
and i suppose it is true, dont waste time on the little things,live life like you were dying
i think there is song titled that way
I liked this blog; also, we should treasure the good things that people (like our favorite teachers, for example) do for us.
Read my blog!
We should most definitely treasure the time we have, especially the good moments.
I treasure every moment I have with my family.
You never know when you will lose someone special to you.
I loved what you had to say! That was such awesome advice! It's too bad that we waste so much time on pointless arguements and time wasting activites. We should live every day to the fullest and in a sense live like we were dying but at the same time plan for the future.
Very true. Sometimes we don't realize what we've done until it's too late. . .
and that fact is a very very sad one...
Endearing. Maybe one day you will work for Hallmark. (No offense intended!!!)

That was a nice feel-good entry.
I'd add: If there must be "What if" moments, let them be for fun. Don't beat yourself up over the past.
