Grass is Greener…, The

Now, I largely blame my mother for all of this. She made me the way I am by instilling in me a deep desire for more; to be more. She wanted better for me than she had (as most parents do) and I am thankful for this. It got me to where I am today and for that, I am grateful. But, I won’t let that same drive constantly convince me that my life isn’t reliable the way it is; that the grass isn’t fine right where I’m standing.

When I was in high school I thought that life would be dependable once I got into college. Then, I spent my days dreaming of how memorable college would be. Once I was in college, I couldn’t wait to be finished and applying to grad schools. During my various internships, I dreamed of one day having my bosses job and how pleasing it must be to be a young working adult, out of college. Now, I am that boss and this grass doesn’t seem nearly as green as it looked when I was 19 years old. There’s always something more, but I won’t let myself forget about the *more* that I already have *today*.

Everyday I find out something new about myself. Sometimes good and sometimes bad. But, it’s me and A regular here that. So, here’s to getting off the ladder (ahem, getting off facebook) and no longer checking out what the neighbors grass looks like. Here’s to watering my own life with clichés, happiness, and all the good and bad that comes with it.

And because I can’t resist, here’s a picture from Saturday. So excited for these two:)
