A Summer of Change and Determination

Hello again! 
     Here we start with the typical "I haven't blogged in forever line" that begins more than half of the posts on this page. I hope for that to change very soon. My goal? To eventually have weekly blog posts. My friend has a daily blog that she is constantly keeping up on. Hers specifically targets "Everything Disney," literally. Her URL is everydaydisney.blogspot.com and please feel free to check out her blog and support her as she shares the Disney magic! Now, although I don't know what my posts will all be targeted toward, I do know that a DAILY blog is a bit out of reach for the time being, so once college begins and I have a bit more focus, I will attempt to do this. Hopefully. 
    Moving on. 
This summer has been. Crazy. Fun. Hectic. Busy. Stressful. And truly life-changing. I have lost and gained a lot, but I'd rather not make this blog post a pity party. Long story short, I've learned how to stand on my own two feet and I have come to realize who my true friends are very very quickly. I briefly would like to thank Lizzie, Megan, and Kelsey all for standing by my side even as I made some very interesting life decisions that didn't necessarily work out long-term. Thank you for being true friends and sticking around through thick and thin like you always promised you would. 
    I have traveled, started a new job, and experienced reality a ton this summer and I am happy to say that I have loved every minute of it and I wouldn't trade it for the world. It has been in the back of my mind for years, but has recently crept up on me and my friends more often that we may not all be in small town Seymour, Wisconsin for very much longer. One of my closest friends plans to move to California in what could potentially be as little as a years worth of time. Although this can be somewhat shocking and the jokes of whether or not the rest of us can survive without her will continue to run on, I refuse to let time pass by without making some amazing memories that include all of us here in Wisconsin. Although I know these won't be the final memories, they will always be unique. Thinking about such large events and changes coming in the future has really brought a realization to me and should be an eye opener to us all to live everyday as our last and live everyday with happiness and joy because after all, sometimes we must choose to be Joy. Referencing my friends blog once more, what makes her happy is Disney. It always has and as far as I'm concerned, it always will. In a different sense her blog could be considered her way of finding "Everyday Happiness" something that some people might struggle with on the average day. 
    I guess the point of all of this rambling is to come to the realization that sometimes although it may be downright devastating, change can be good. Change can bring us joy that we have never felt before, but most importantly, spend the happiest of days with people you love because you never know what the future has in store. 

Keep Calm and Visit Happiness, Whatever or Wherever that may be for you!
