Time and Place

Something that is always on my mind is time - I have blogged about it before (Spain blog) but it is a never ending thought.  Time can go fast or slow.  Thinking about my time in Spain feels forever ago - boarding the plane in Chicago not knowing a single person.  However, what really got me thinking about time is this summer - it is going fast but going slow.  Since summer physics ended last week I guess you could say that my 'summer' has started. But in a way I have been a little bored without the constant pressure of school work - I have been a student for so long.  Don't get me wrong the break is nice, but in a way I miss school and it has legit only been a little over a week!  

I have always been thinking about time in the sense of places.  I don't know if that is the correct way to word it, but what I mean is how you can spend so much time in one place and never really understand the place or how little time you can spend in place and know it all so much.  I have come to the conclusion everything is what you make it - college, friends, relationships, etc.  Seriously what you make something is what you are going to get out of it.  Think about it.  One main example that I can think of is religion.  If you don't put anything into your relationship with God it will be hard for you to get anything out of the relationship with God.  We should all put our full effort into everything we do.  I can personally say that I don't put my all into everything I do - I will be the first to admit I am a work in progress. 

Something I have to remember is life is great and no matter how bad it might seem everything will be okay.  I just have to trust in God, my friends, and my family that everything will be okay.  In the end everything will be okay and if its not okay then it is not the end. Well these were just some thoughts for the day.  I think I am going to go for a run or a swim.  A tradition I am going to start is leaving you all with a picture that has a special meaning to me - whether it is a picture I have taken or a friend has taken or a picture I found somewhere.

Steven, Katie, me, and Paul.  These three people mean the world to me. Thanks guys for everything that you have done for me!!

Paz y Amor. God Bless.
