Time Together is Never Quite Enough

This phrase comes from one of my favorite songs, "The Saltwater Room" by Owl City. As I listen to these words, I can't help but to find them quite applicable to almost every faucet of my life. Senior year is rushing by at a pace that I find far to speedy. Somehow the cross country season is already gone, something that I find hard to conceptualize. Cross country has been an incredible experience that I shall not soon forget. From trail runs to the state championships, I have absolutely loved every step taken with my teammates; I am thankful for the awesome dudes we have on our team, and the friendships that have developed as a product of our hard work together. There is some sort of addictive feeling that I obtain from athletic competition, and I cannot wait until track rolls around so that we can start racing again! Anyways, the point trying to be made here is that one should enjoy every single moment in life while they last. It sounds cliche, but it is so very true! Amplified by the extremely busy schedules we all have, we can't forget to enjoy those free moments in life where we can simply enjoy each other's company. These are the moments that keep us sane, they keep us in touch with who we really are. Time with friends is so very valuable and essential to happiness, that we can't forget to squeeze it in whenever possible. This weekend was full of simple activities that ended up being super enjoyable. Football games, brownies, bike races, hockey games, hot chocolate, even church! Despite a week full of work that lies ahead, I am full of optimism. Don't forget, this Saturday is Halloween! I hope that this post has reminded you, the reader, to keep on smiling; life is good.
P.S. If you couldn't tell, I am getting stoked for winter!!
