life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful

This is a good reminder to myself. I am constantly thinking about the future and the "what ifs" in life. I'm trying to be patient. I feel like I write that, oh um, about every other post on here. Y'all are probably tired of me saying that. 

It's hard when you work on a college campus and you watch your students graduate and go off to explore the world outside of this small town in Indiana. They are chasing their dreams, diving right in, totally jumping and growing their wings on their way down, having complete faith in God. 

I am constantly in awe of their passion for life and always think to myself, "gosh, I wish I was that brave to move across the world or experience another state."  

I don't want to look back on my life and have regrets.....wondering "what if?"

The one thing I have learned is that life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful. Life doesn't have to be planned out, day by day, week by week, month by month..........life is meant to be lived and enjoyed. My life has been "planned out" for the last year and a half with grad school. I am ready for the next adventure. I am ready to experience something new........to experience the world.
