Sometimes I wish I could fast forward a few years to when things seem like they'll be easy for awhile. I picture us moving somewhere cool, being in grad school, living the life I see everyone else living. I'm so ready to graduate and have a real job, a job that applies the skills I've been learning for the past 3 years. We'll be settled and have lots of friends and do fun things that happy, established, young married couples do. Is that really too much to ask? Haha.
Maybe it is. I know I should just relax and enjoy life as it comes but I'm having a hard time being patient. I feel like there's always something to look forward to: bridal shower, wedding, Mitch moving here, the honeymoon, graduating, moving, etc etc. The list goes on. And it's great! I'm so blessed! But somehow I'm also very anxious.
I spend so much time planning that I really don't know how to just stop and enjoy the present. In honor of this terrible realization:
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Amen.
