Yes.

I know...I am a quote fanatic but I really think that everyone should live by this quote.

I have recently started to look around and see all the things that people are passing up on because they are scared for one reason or another and it is just plain dumb. I am guilty of it too but since it is the new year, I am going to make it one of my resolutions to try and live life to the fullest. Life is too short to be taken for granted. I start to realize this more around the holidays when people I love are missing all around me. I just hope that when I get old, I can say to myself "I did everything I wanted to do and lived life to the fullest." 

Anyway, a little bit of sentiment before I leave the country for a few months was necessary...my visa is finally on it's way to me in the mail after a bunch of trouble. The time is nearing, I leave to Ecuador in a week and a half. Can't wait! More to come.
