I have been waiting for a sign, an inspiration, a moment of
pure overflow of word vomit to appear in my lap. I was waiting for something to
fall from the sky or for someone to yell a story from across a room. I was
waiting for magic, but I came to realize that magic is in the every day
simplicities. I realized that every single day something happens that is
important at creating my life story. I had lots to say while I was in Italy
because I was so fortunate to have the opportunity to live and thrive in a foreign
country, but I am also very lucky to wake up each day in Salt Lake City, Utah
with a wonderful family, good friends, and a place to call home. So screw the
idea of waiting for magic, everyday is magic. And what you just witnessed was
me having a moment of clarity, a moment of thankfulness, and a realization that
every day needs to be lived like it’s my last.
You finish reading that and now the sigh of relief floods
out of your mouth because Audrey’s sentimental, tender time is over. Now it’s
on to the things Internet junkies love to hear. For example I recently (like
yesterday) purchased an iPhone. It is incredibly addicting and I personally
apologize to anyone I ever publically made fun of for being so obsessed with an
electronic. This device can do everything, like Instagram and Foresquare while
Tweeting about it and posting everything on my (and your) Facebook timeline,
ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I feel like I am part of club now, the iPhone Club. We
should get jackets.
Well, I just checked my iPhone and it said that it was past
my bedtime. Here’s to better posts in the future and to being thankful for
everything we are presented with. xoxo
