Today, while sitting in class, I kept catching myself grinning broadly for no particular reason. Then, on the short drive home, I took a moment to reflect on my life and realized how truly, wonderfully blessed I am. Here are a few reasons why:
- I am currently wearing a sterling silver band ring that I made myself!
- It is 72 degrees and sunny, sunny, sunny out.
- I am going to make new friends tonight, first at a work meeting, then at a Happy Hour
- I have a studio space in a nice place with a nice studio mate
- I live in a beautiful home in a beautiful town in a beautiful state in a beautiful country
- The beautiful home belongs to two very special people and their two dogs and two kitties, all of whom I love dearly
- Running is a privilege, and it is one that I try to take advantage of at least 3 times a week
- I have a job that I genuinely enjoy. Not only does it allow me to learn and grow while paying me well, it also gives me the opportunity to do something that has a real and positive impact on the lives of others.
- My planner is almost done !!!
- My little sister is alive and well
- My older sister is getting better, better, better every day
- The Walking Dead is coming back on next week
- I get to see Jennifer Lawrence with a very nice boy tomorrow night
- I went from having one broken pair of awesome sunglasses (useless), to having two pairs of mostly awesome sunglasses (yeaah!)
- My big booty jeans
- I have a second interview at a cool design firm on Monday (fingers crossed)
- I will hopefully have a sweet website (or the start of one) up by then
- I am taking a metalsmithing class
- Kay comes back from Guatemala this weekend!
- I just took a shower and feel super clean/awesome
- (At least) Bimonthly dinners with Candance, Brooke, Jenna, Brenna, and Leeza
- Kay & Pete in general
- Postcards from the Calligraphy Club gracing my mailbox all this week
- Earlier today, I could hear the kids at the elementary school at the bottom of the hill say a really long, held out "Yaaayyyyy!" simultaneously for like 10 seconds, and it was amazing.
- Iris coming to visit in 44 days
- Did I mention I have a studio space now?
- Pizza
- And of course, this list would not be complete without mentioning the fact that I most unexpectedly (and a little bit bewilderingly) found a most awesome partner-in-crime and friend and person I like to kiss as much as I like to talk to.
So that's that, I guess. There are many more that are escaping my happy, slightly sleepy brain right now, but god. Life is good, the sky is blue, and I am so happy to be alive.
