Carpe Diem

I have troubles lately seizing the moment. I want so much out of my life that I zero in on something thinking that it should be the direction that I should be taking. As it turns out, life doesn't work out that way. It never does. I've been daydreaming for a week now of the kind of life that I want and I texted Ma of how I felt about things. She advised me to seize the moment. Here I am again, wandering in the realms of my mind and not going with the flow. Ma must have been scratching her head wanting to spank her stubborn daughter on the butt.

For a while, I've been thinking of who I want to be and disregarding where I am at this very very moment. However, I realize that I've prayed for these things that are happening in my life now. It is ungrateful of me to even complain of what others consider as a beautiful blessing.

So today, I resolved to embrace the entirety of life - the good and the bad, the ups and the downs. I went home today happy because I've learned to seize the moment. I'm so blessed that my life took a wonderful turn when I didn't expect it to.
