I'm having a happy moment

I just want to go on record and say that I'm really happy right now. In this very moment, I feel really damn good. Remember how miserable I was four months ago? That sure was a fun time around here. I wondered when I'd ever feel happy again without having to try so hard. I've felt good for awhile, but sitting here right now I am so thankful for this crazy excitement tingling in my stomach. For this smile that I can't wipe off my face. I know this giddy feeling can't last forever, but it's here now, and I'm loving it. Here are a few reasons I'm so happy:

• Today is the last day of my hardest semester yet. In August I thought about dropping a class because I wasn't sure I could get through two difficult classes, especially given the circumstances at the time. But now I'm almost done, and I think I even kicked a little ass. By 5:30 tonight I will officially be done with this damn semester.


• I have been spending a lot of time with my friends. Part of the reason I moved back to GR was to be close to all these people, but I worried we'd all be too busy to hang out much. However, I think we've done a pretty good job. Especially lately. On Saturday everyone came out to celebrate my birthday; Sunday we had book club; last night we had a pizza and movie night; and this Sunday we're having a dinner party.


• Tonight I have a date. And I am really excited. That is all.

Oh how wonderful! Thank heavens for the end of a long semester. I am so, so glad you didn't give up. I had prayed many nights for you about that and for the return of peace and happiness in your life.

I can't wait to hear about the date. :)
