To Stay or To Go...........

This is my favorite time of year, when the leaves are changing and the snow is beginning to fall. I'm like a 5 year old the week before Christmas, except my Christmas is ski season. As usual around this time of year I start thinking about leaving Utah. I know we have the best skiing on earth but there's something that makes me want to see what else is out there. I could spend a winter in Truckee, Whistler or Jackson. Every other year I've had obligations at home holding me back, like school and work but this year everything has fallen into place. My rent contract expires at the end of December, I've told my boss I'm leaving in December and I graduate in December. I don't know how much better things could line up. We'll see though.

Life keeps changing though, for good and bad but thats life. How boring would it be if everything were perfect? There would be no late night cram sessions chugging Red Bull,no excitement or surprise when you pull off a good grade after a night of cramming etc. It's always amazed me though how quickly a good situation can turn bad. One moment things are great and then you blink. When you open your eyes everything has turned upside down on you. I read a quote today that I think explains it well.

"Sometimes good things fall apart so that better things can fall together."

That is life. All you can do is life it and love it for what it is, and make the most of it.
