flowers and family

Well, my last year of high school is drawing to a close and I am beginning to feel the separation from something I have had for 13 years. Each day that passes by seems to speed up and complete more quickly. Although I am happy to move on towards greater education, I am sad that I won't be able to bring all of my friends that I see every day with me. This has caused me to realize the important stuff in life- the stuff we take for granted some times. I am someone who could sit outside for hours, just observing everything around and taking it all in. One of my favorite pieces of nature to photograph are flowers that shine and have rare beauty. As I took these, I thought how sometimes we take flowers (or simple things) for granted- and usually it is those things that help us through life when we take the time to appreciate them.



I have begun to take for granted one of the most important parts of my life- my family. I have been gone so much lately being involved in different events that I haven't really had a night home to spend with 'the fam'. I am ecstatic that Godspell is almost over and that we had a good run because I know that it means I get to see the family. I don't remember when the last time I had dinner at home was- and boy am I excited to!



I guess all that I am trying to say it to remember the importance in life. Don't forget about your families or even the flowers. Those are what we need most...
