Is my metabolism really only burning calories at a rate of 500-600 calories per day? I wonder how long it will take to get my metabolism up to a healthy rate when I'm eating normal food again.
Yesterday I took my daughter on a college visit. It made the fact that she will begin a new chapter in her life soon seem very, very real.
What will your major be? Uhm...pre-med or communications, I think.
Are you interested in Greek life? I don't know much about it so I'm not sure.
Are you looking at other schools? Yes. (The only clear answer was one that indicated uncertainty.)
We have only about 6 1/2 months to figure it out. At that point, scholarships will be offered to others if she doesn't commit.
Will she know where and how and what in that short period of time??
As we visited with the band director, he told us about a trophy that they have in memory of a past student. Jeremy majored in music education. He was sure about his future and prepared for it with passion for four years. While student teaching, he got sick. Although he was able to complete the requirements to get his final credits, he died prior to graduation.
It seems to us as we think about this young life lost, that Jeremy spent his time preparing but never accomplished anything. That's because we way too often view life as the destination rather than the journey.
Whatever Jeremy was put on this earth to accomplish, he did accomplish.
During this time in his life which we usually associate with transition, I hope he saw it differently and lived each day. Really lived each day.
Don't overlook today in your rush for tomorrow. Live it.
