Keep Your Eye on the Prize

As much as I would like to have a swing like "Happy Gilmore" I'm happy I could get the ball 150 ft. Golfing isn't a sport of mind, although I do enjoy to play. I've gone out more than 5 times so I guess you can say I'm an expert.
"Keep your head down, eye on the back of the ball, left arm straight, hips turning, and feet on the ground until you swing the club through the air and smack that ball right outta here!" -- Sounds easy right? Well, I must admit that it can be a bit complicated. When you are in 95 degree temp. and 100% humidity it can become sticky. Kinda nasty, if I do say so myself.
Hopefully I'll be able to get to the point where I can play 9 to 18 holes of golf, but I think I need a little more practice before I take someones eye out. I don't want to be paying for some kids hospital bill, no way, no how. For now I'll just stick to grabbing a bucket of balls and trying my best to remember all the steps to having the perfect swing.

Life Is What We Make It

Well I'm sure that many people start out their first blog post like this, but I'm going to do it anyway. Hello! I'm Katie, a young girl looking for my purpose in life. Everyday I wake up look at the clock and think, "Shouldn't I be sleeping?" But I get up, get dressed and start my day. Just that can start a day off with new adventures: meeting new people, tasting new food, traveling to "off the map" places, and becoming who you will be. Sometimes it feels like a drag, like you just want to stay in your pj's... don't! Saying, I'll take care of it later won't solve anything because those dishes you said you were going to do later are still in that sink, still dirty, still taking up room. Laziness is not the key to progression. Passion and pride within yourself is what you must find to channel that drive into a positive energy. We must not be afraid to take risks or to make mistakes, because chances are you will have more of them than accomplishments. We all learn and live on the road of life. Many roads can be taken. It just depends on how we decide to travel, or where we stop. We are modeled and formed by these. Sometimes people or things we have experience. The key to being happy and successful is to be open your eyes and wake up in the morning. Life is what we make it and before you regret anything think to yourself about who you want to be and where you want to go. At the end of the day, you are the only one that stands in your way of accomplishment. No one else (even though we like to blame others) can be responsible for our actions. Positive mindsets and actions can set you free to become and do anything you desire.
So, like I said, I'm Katie and I'll be staying awhile if ya'll don't mind. I don't know who reads these but I would love responses and maybe topics I could write about.
Thanks for reading!
