I'm In A Hurry

Hello everyone, Right now I am blogging to you while babysitting because I have been working non stop and have absolutely no time to do my homework. This is a problem because I am taking two AP classes and am holding down two jobs. I feel very overwhelmed at times because I have so much to do and so little time. I think that a lot of people can relate to this, especially in this time period.

Thinking about this reminds me of this song that I remember my dad showed me when I was younger. It is called I'm In a Hurry by Alabama it is a relatively older song. Here is a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6slibTD9MF0. This song is a song that has one of the best meanings that I have ever heard. I think that everyone NEEDS to listen to this song because I can't think of anyone that this doesn't relate to. It asks the question "why do we hurry through life?". One of the lines that speaks to me is "Oh, I rush and rush until life's no fun". I remember my Dad talking about he does this and how important the message is but I blew it off because I was so young. Now, as a Junior in High School I can relate to this song on a whole new level.

I think that a lot of the reason as to why we are like this is because of the time period that we live in. If you go to the grocery store just stop and look around at people and count how many are in a hurry. It is mind blowing. Even by looking at where and how we eat our food. We have fast food restaurants because we are in too big of hurry to wait for our food and we eat while doing other things, such as driving. Admit it, we have all tried to stuff food in our mouths while trying to drive. People these days do just about anything while driving because they don't want to be late to where ever they are rushing off to. 

So the moral of the story is, to ask ourselves why are we in such a rush through life? And to stop trying to stuff a big mac in our mouth's while driving. Everyday we are rushing to get to work or school. Sometimes we forget to stop and live in the moment. How many times do find yourself thinking more  about the future than what is happening in the moment? I know that I am going to try to live in the moment more.

Thanks for reading, and remember to slow down, enjoy your life.
