New beginnings? Or just life as we know it now?

Hello, faithful readers ;)
I was looking through my recent posts and the title of my Blog, "New beginnings..." and it occurred to be that my title isn't exactly accurate.  I feel that after a year of being married to Eddie, living in Higginson, and my first year of pharmacy school over with, that this is just simply "Life."  I assume that once school is over and we make one more BIG move to Sharp County, that there will be some new beginnings to write about then:  Being a pharmacist, living back home, Eddie will have a different job, possibly some babies in the mix--- 3 years from now of course!  But for now, I will simply be talking about our life together and the adventures that we can get ourselves into. 

It is a basic concept to be happy in the life and moment that one person is in at the present.  However, I think it is hard for some people to manage it.  I've been around people my whole life that seem to never appreciate something in the present.  I look back and can see how their attitudes have influenced me and how I was unfortunate enough to miss out on some of the most glorious moments of life because I was in such a hurry for the next thing to happen.  The phrase, "I just can't wait (-to finish high school and move away. -for Spring Break, for Summer Break.  -to get into pharmacy school.  - to get married and move.  etc...)" shouldn't be in one's vocabulary.  I mean, it is just fine to look forward to something.  But, if you're always looking so far forward that you miss the stuff in the now, what's it all worth anyway? 

This is just a few thoughts while I'm thinking about the last year and all of the new things in our life.  Life is simply wonderful and the best part is appreciating the small things that make one happy.
