Making the Most of Every Opportunity

Today is a beautiful day; its not too hot and not too cold. Days like this one are soon going to be gone for months. Summer in Arizona is brutal and soon we will be locked up inside running the A/C just for comfort. As I sit here outside, enjoying this wonderful weather, I have a lot on my mind- it seems like I always do. Andrew is going in for an interview today for US mainline. It is for a full-time management position. I am so excited for him; this is the job he's been dreaming of for almost three years now. If he gets it, he is going to be one step closer to achieving his dreams, dreams that he has had since he was 10. It also means he is one step closer to moving out, which is something that I know I'm going to struggle with. He is my best friend, and as I'm typing these words, tears are starting to form in my eyes. He is not here today, and I'm starting to think about what its going to be like when he moves away. I've known him my whole life. He has made me smile, laugh, and cry; he has taught me that it is perfectly fine to be yourself, even though others may not see you in a "normal" way.
My dream is to help people and make a difference in their lives. Still not sure how I'm supposed to accomplish this, but I know it's possible and that there is a way to do so. This day and time, the minute and the second in my life, are such a small portion of my entire life. Taking the opportunity to say to someone "I love you" and thank them for making such a huge impact on your life are things that I myself do not do as much as I should.
