MOMENTS

In life there is only the present moment; that moment which we have enormous difficulty focusing on. We're always thinking about what we did, about how we could have done it better, about the consequences of our actions, and why we didn't act as we should have. And when we do focus on those rare moments it's the bad moments that catch our attention, a moment of misunderstanding that makes us forget in only a second all of those amazing and wonderful moments; the moments which impact your life and allow you to realize that everything has changed...When Mr. Wood first assigned this project of creating a blog page I thought "Damn, this is going to be easy." I was so excited, I already have several blog pages and thought this one would be no different. When I finally sat down ready to write I realized that I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to write about. I was so focused on what people would think, whether or not everyone would like my blog, and if anyone would take something I wrote too personal. With my other blogs I never allowed anyone I knew to follow me. I was free to write just about anything and not worry about what anyone thought. I wasn't focused on the future and what might happen, I was focused on the present and what I wanted to say at that very moment. 

I want to write about those moments that I'll never forget; the moments that change my life...so I guess this is my blog. I'll talk about all of those rare moments when I cherish my life, and hopefully through my experiences, you might cherish those little moments in your life too. So what are your experiences, who has impacted your life, and what are those moments that have changed you?
