the greatest things in life , are usually the ones you take for granted the most. lately i've noticed that i have been doing that a lot. when life is going smoothly, i don't take the time to stop and appreciate it. then, before you know it , something goes wrong and i end up regretting not taking the opportunity to be fully happy with what i had. sometimes i wish i could go back in time to the days where everything was so simple. homework consisted of memorizing your abc's and 123's. boys had cooties, and friendships were easily mended with a very straightforward apology. nothing like the way things are today. stuck doing homework for hours on end. boys are the center of all your problems , and friendships are so hard to maintain. my goal from now on is to actually 'stop and smell the roses' because you honestly don't know what you've got until its gone. never take the good times for granted because you may not have them for long.
