It's that time of year! Graduations AAALLLLL around! I feel like I know so many people graduating this year! Friends finishing up college, family from high school, and my lovely little preschoolers graduating to kindergarten! That's what I love about this time of year...the obvious change in someone's life. I personally love change. For better or worse, change is something that must be accepted and it is up to us to make the decision whether it will be a positive or negative experience.
I am a very optimistic person and I do my best to see the positive in all situations...and sometimes I can tell that bothers a few people. But oh well. I don't understand why people love to sit around and complain about the negative things in their lives when there are soooo many things to be thankful for. Yes, I know there are times when things are rough and we just want to sit and cry and vent...I'm guilty of that too. That's just human nature. But to let it control your life and your mood...and in turn, those around you as well...is not the best thing in the world.
I'm sick of people on Facebook, and in life in general, who have nothing but negative things to say. Honestly, it seems like there are some people out there that have NOTHING good going on in their life because they only focus on the sad stuff and that's ALL they talk about! And God-forbid I try to change it around and find the positive in it, because they always find a way to "disprove" this with a lovely rebuttal. It is for this reason that I have over the past few years weeded these kinds of people out of my life. No need for those that like to bring you down to their sad, poor-me, level. I'm good up here in my happy world. Thanks!
So, back to the whole change thing. My life changed back in December, when I graduated :) This semester off has been a very different life than any other time. I had been in school since I was 4! I didn't know what I was going to do with myself! Oh, and let's just throw in a deployment for the boy! Haha. (Another one of those "negative" things that I continue to strive to stay positive about.) And pretty soon there will be another BIG change for my life. After spending 4 school years and what will be a 5th summer at my day care job, I will be leaving it to go back to school for my credential/student teaching program. It's crazy! I feel like I just started there! This job has been such a big part of my life and has created so many memories for me...including working with my best friend! I couldn't have asked for a better job at this point in my life. But I am looking forward to moving onto another chapter in my life, working towards my goal of being an elementary teacher.
With all this change going around, I am going to try to savor every moment of what I go through each day. My last days with my preschoolers. My last summer with my day care kids. Every day of summer! Although, I am hoping the time flies in terms of Alex coming home :) Ugh, those catch 22s!
