Still Holding On.

I find myself holding on to the past far more often than I'd care to.  

Why do people cling to people or things, even when they know they are so much better off without those people or things? Is it fear that something better won't come along? Or maybe because they don't feel worthy of anything better? I'm truly not sure. 

The only thing I am sure of is that I need to LET IT GO.

change of plans aren't always a bad thing.

truth.

Arizona livin'

This morning, it was a "cool" 73º so I took full advantage of it and enjoyed my coffee, bagel, and a new book on the patio, watching the dogs chase lizards and flies.

I looked around and realized how lucky I am to be here.  So here's a "thankful to be in Arizona" list...

1. I'm getting a degree in Agricultural Economics and graduating 2 years earlier than planned.
2. I've made more, and better friends living here for 7 weeks, than I did in my first 4 years of college elsewhere.  The water polo girls are my second family and I feel like I've known a lot of them for years, not just 7 weeks. 
3. I live with my cousin and her big black lab Finley and I wouldn't have it any other way.  This is the first year in college that I love my roommate and my living situation.
4. Everyone here calls me Abs, and it makes me extreeeeemely happy. :)
5. I'm getting (almost) all good grades in my classes.  
6. Economics is finally clicking for me, which is evident through my 95% grade in my Agricultural Economics class this semester.  I shouldn't be surprised, seeing as this is my 5th Ag-Econ class over the past 5 years. 
7. Even though I don't have straight A's at the moment, all my grades in every class are above the class average, which I'll take as a success.
