Leap Day

In honor of Leap day, I shall blog today! I mean why not right?

Before the movie "Leap Year" had come out, I'd never heard of a leap year before (vulnerable enough to show you my ignorance).

Funny how a movie can give you so much insight right? Hmmm....Speaking of having insight, I honestly feel like I haven't learned anything new in a long time. I mean I've learned bits and pieces of information here and there over the past couple of months...or even years...but I don't feel as if I've truly challenged my mind to learn anything new and this frustrates me.
I guess I know a little bit more about photography than I did before. I've been reading blogs and researching about it since I've purchased my new camera, but I can't say that I've learned a whole lot about it yet.

Well today is leap day and I simply don't want to take it for granted. An extra day in the year that we get every 4 years!!! Woah!!! The next leap time we'll have a leap year will be in 2016!!!

Who knows where in the world I'll be at that time? Will I still be in France (I hope not!), or will I be back in the US reunited with my loves!?? Will I have a full time job or still be living this crazy unstable life of mine?

Think about it. Where do you want to be a few years from now?

I always tell myself there is no point in thinking that far in advance because we do not control our destiny/fate/God's will for our lives. In fact I think to many of us humans over think  the future and freak ourselves out for nothing. We spend so much time planning for what is ahead that we miss out on what's right before us.
But in some ways, it's good to think about the future. For one it helps us confront our fear of the future and face it head on. Secondly it gives us something to look forward to. I mean living day by day is great and all but there's nothing wrong with a little planning so you don't end up completely unprepared when life grabs you by the wrist and drags you along on this crazy roller coaster ride!

But then again, you can never plan enough so let go of your fears, and embrace today.

“Today is an ephemeral ghost...
A strange amazing day that comes only once every four years. For the rest of the time it does not "exist." 

"This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24

"Joy is the direct result of having God's perspective on our daily lives and the effect of loving our Lord enough to obey His commands and trust His promises."

"I'm missing my past but attempting to focus on the present, so I can better my future." Quote by ME :)

Happy Leap Day Yo!!
