The Art of Enjoyment

Valparaiso, Indiana is definitely a place where I am enjoying myself. I have already made some great friends, and had awesome times with them already. :)
Life here is good. I love my classes and the teachers are great, too.
My room could probably use a cleaning today, though.
One of my favorite things about being here is the fact that I get to focus completely on music. I have 2 non-musical classes, and they're great classes, but I am excited to just study music. Musicianship, Music Theory, Piano Lessons, Piano Colloquium, Jazz Band, and Kantorei (choir). It's seriously going to be an amazing year.
One thing that I noticed is what I talked about with Heather. She said it's going to be easier to practice here because everyone around me will be practicing.
That is so true.
Everyone is already practicing. Freshman are already practicing. Non-music majors are already practicing. It makes me want to play, and I have gotten opportunities to since I've been here.
I have gotten involved with 2 different ensembles, (jazz band and choir), and they are both already a TON of fun. :)
AND (since this is the reason I actually started the blog) I got to workout yesterday, and we're going again today! So maybe I'll actually lose something this year instead of gaining the freshman 15.
Enjoying yourself is an important part of life. If you don't ever enjoy yourself, and you just feel sorry for yourself, then what kind of life are you living?
Life is meant to be enjoyed! It's meant to have fun! Laugh a little, cry a little, yell a little, whisper a little, and enjoy every second of it! Because life is going to pass us by, and before we know it, we're gonna regret not being happier throughout life.
We'll look back on the stupid things we got mad at, and wonder why we didn't just enjoy ourselves instead of being mad at nothing for a week. That was a week that we missed out on enjoying life.
SO paint your life the way you want to paint it, but enjoy it! Life is an art, and is meant to be fun! God gave us emotions, and yes, sometimes life will be hard. But don't let it get you down forever!
Even though we can't be happy all the time in this hard life, we can still enjoy whatever in our life is going right. There's always something going right in life.
You still have a house, you still can eat, you're still alive.
Live, laugh, try new things, pray. Everyday.
Because tomorrow's always a new day!
Enjoy it.
And we'll let tomorrow teach me whatever it wants to.
