Ain't that just like life...
To come full circle everytime? You can't fight the inevitable, but you sure can change the meantime. AMY once told me something along the lines of "Lacy, right now is just the meantime. The time between great things happening in your life." Well I've got a message for the meantime, maybe it sucked the life out of me for those 6 long months that 'he who shall remain unnamed' wasn't around, but right now I'm making the meantime "My Bitch". I don't know if it was with the passing of my ULTRA HARD exit exams, the reuniting with old friends, Exercising, or just the return of my wonder for life, but everyday is a blessing (even when you have to pay what pissy money you got back from your income tax return in to the state of Louisiana). Maybe it was finding out that you really were incredible. Sometimes we've gotta hit those lows in life to rediscover how amazing life actually is.
I've spent the last couple of days thinking of my accomplishments. I posted on
Dayton-Online a few days back. Its a new chat forum for Dayton Alum so we can keep tabs on one another. I never really sat down before that day and thought of what I've done with my life until I had to sum it up in just a few words. It went like this...
"My years after high school were pretty much a blur of beer, music, and general debauchery. I'm currently employed as a science teacher at Tarkington ISD. I graduated from Lamar in December 04 with an Earth Science degree. I worked offshore for a short time and now I'm here teaching hormonal high schoolers how to balance equations. That's pretty much it in a nutshell."/em>
After I wrote that and then read Amy's long post of achievements, it occurred to me that my last 5 years have been SO much more than that. They've been nothing less than incredible. I'm quite an accomplished person and forgot that in the last year. I will always remember that Mrs. Herndon once told me an Accomplished and well rounded individual knows a little bit of something about everything. I now live my life with that in mind each and everyday.
On that note, I now remove myself from my soapbox till another time.
