This summer has been a unique one, and it has flown by. 
I am not going to try to explain everything I have done, that would take far too long and might end up being a little boring. But I have learned something that seems fairly simple, but I have never put much effort or thought into. Time. The past couple of years have gone by so quickly, I feel like I can barely keep up. Things are constantly changing. I have been trying to enjoy every single moment while it lasts, because all these wonderful moments I am experiencing are once in a life time, they will never occur again. 
Kaya is leaving for Africa in two and a half weeks. It doesn't seem real. It's going to be a struggle to loose my absolute best friend for a whole 10 months. 
It has hit me that in two weeks the whole dynamic of our family is going to change. It will just be my mom and  I for 10 months. When Kaya gets back, we will both be out living on our own. Everything will be different. It makes me a little bit sad and regretful that I haven't appreciated these moments together as a family as much as I could have. 
I am making a change with in myself, appreciating everything. 
Cheers to enjoying every single moment in time; even the tough ones. 
I am grateful and happy, and it feels good.
