Memento Vivere

What does memento vivere mean?  
In case you are not familiar with the Latin phrase it means remember to live.  I think this is a motto that people should live by.  


I have been having some fun adventures and I wanted to be able to write down my memories while sharing experiences, thoughts and future ambitions.  I have tried to do a journal but found that I wasn't writing in it as much but maybe this electronic version will work better.  

I have been getting out and about trying to live life.  I recently had a friend say to me that I didn't even know where home was.  I thought about this and felt the words might be true.  I am trying to discover what life is and have grown in many different ways while doing so.  

After graduating college in May 2009 with a degree in PR I stayed in my college town until August 2009.  The end of that summer I transferred to a new position with my company to Salt Lake City.  I was an administrative assistant sitting in a desk eight hours a day.  I was able to tolerate the job throughout the winter but then once spring came along I was going crazy sitting at a horrid desk.  I then decided that I needed to make a change to make me more happy.


Summer of 2010 I was a summer camp counselor for Rowland Hall and had a great time, much needed change.  While camp was coming to an end I knew I had to figure something else out to do.  I wanted to move somewhere different.  I had come to find out about a company based in Utah who sent people to work in tourism merchandising in different locations.  After applying and interviewing I was given an opportunity to move to Key West, Florida for 4 1/2 months, I said yes.  Not being the best at geography I didn't even realize that Key West was an island at the end of the Florida Keys.  


I took a chance and quit my mentally exhausting, physically undemanding administrative assistant job.  I have been quite happy with life choices I have made and hope to keep on growing in my near future and distant promising life.
