LIttle Surfer Girl


Went to Pismo Beach this weekend. The guys at Moondoggies (Nick and Davis) did a great job! Yep, I've created a monster. She thinks this is so cool!

Also, the challenge question on the GS board today was a GREAT one! Here's the question:
If you could write a letter to your younger self, knowing what you've learned in life already, what would that letter say?

Dear Self (and anyone else currently in high school that happens to read this bit of advice),

I know how much you hate high school. It's ssssooooo sad that you get so wrapped up in being popular, boys, etc. PLEASE! Quit it. Focus on school. Focus on your grades. Focus on creating a life for you that will allow yourself FUN for the rest of your life. Make plans. Make plans to travel. Make plans to keep in touch with friends, but don't be surprised or hurt when you never see them again. And move on from high school. Do not stay in the moment. There is a reason you have a graduation because high school is so short. AND THANK GOD IT IS! Your life, which you will begin prepping after high school is so long! So make the most of it. Make it positive. Make it eventful. Life the type of life you dream about. But it will only happen if you focus and get out of the crap that weighs your mind down. Don't ever let anyone tell you something can't be done because you CAN do anything. But you have to focus. You cannot think that things will just be handed to you. You must work for them. So my advice to you is to move on past high school. If you are currently in it, just know, KNOW that it is going to be great when you get out . . . if you focus on a life you wish to create. Leave high school behind. Move on. And never look back. It's so not a big deal.

That looks like such fun! Nice letter. My brother said something to me once along the lines of that if only both groups of high schoolers could only know - the ones who have it made and the ones having an awful time - that high school is far from the end all that it seems at the time...
