A Freckle Past

First you struggle with the patience to wait for something, then as the time approaches you want it to slow down a little. Well at least in most cases, as for me right now, I'm in a jumble. Everything's going everywhere and I'm not sure what is exactly in store for me or my family and friends. I'm super excited; don't get me wrong, I just have so much to do and little time to do it in. 
The good news is I have a great family and lots of great friends who help with the spazziness that has been created in this time crunch. I think a lot of the time we take for granted people who are a constant in our lives. I know at least I have. Those people who are there no matter what, from the first tweet of unhappiness to the hours spent talking and exchanges of encouragement, someone must have come to mind by now. Keep those people close, sometimes it is tough but they will be the ones who keep you on the right path. No matter the questions that buzz around the noggin, take those people aside and let them know they are appreciated. It's something so simple but so frequently overlooked. 
With the adventure of leaving ahead of me I think of the things I need to do before I leave. The people I need to make sure know how much they have helped me, from the small and simple things to the huge complex gigantic nonsense that they were lucky to walk into. I'm very nervous for my next adventure but I'm also so very thankful for the experiences I've had with so many people here, the good, the bad, the annoying, the lies, the blunt truth, the laughs, and the tears. They all make us who we are today; sometimes, it may not be the most welcome way but we've got to grow somehow. Right?!
