Groundhog

I am sure most people are familiar with the movie "Groundhog Day", where Tom Hanks wakes up day after day to the same date, February 2nd.

This was my idea for my 'sophomore' blog. All to often, people get into a habit. Things become habitual and there is no excitement. Routine. I know that for myself, I have at times been known to do things that I normally wouldn't do just because I became accustomed to a situation or a person.

It is times like these in which people need to step back and realize how their life has blessed them. Life is such a precious commodity that so few fulfill. And all to often, lives are cut short or are damaged at a moment when no sees it coming.

I have been so blessed in my life. I have an amazing family who supports me, provides for me, and makes sacrifices for my well-being and my comfort. I have incredible friends who surrond me and make my life ridiculously fun. I have been blessed with talent and ability and I go to a good school, majoring in a program that is very difficult to be accepted into. I have a boyfriend who takes my life from day to day to something extraordinary and awe-inspiring. He takes me to heights I never knew I would reach. He has shown me every side of him, opening up like no one else has. And in doing so, I have learned so much about myself.

These winter days make it difficult to think like that. Sometimes its easier to be crabby and insensitive. Its how you appreciate things and people that make you a good person. Don't let things become so routine that they bore you and you don't care about being insensitive. Be in tune. Be connected. Be synchronized.
