It has been so long!
Unfortunately, this won't be a very long or meaningful post, but I just wanted to get some activity going on here, for the sake of remembering - at least a little bit - this time in my life.
I think that John Mayer was onto something when he sung that "the heart of life is good." It's what I feel right now. Life is complicated and it's uncertain, but it's good.
I think life has really good this particular semester because it's simpler than it has been in the past. I'm enjoying my (two) classes very much, and I actually have time to do the reading for them. Work has been nice, and there are some writing opportunities on the table there and elsewhere. I'm getting to hang out with my friends and family more than I did last semester, and I don't feel as sick or as stressed as I did in the fall. Matthew keeps trying to convince me that life doesn't have to be so insanely busy or full to be enjoyable, and I think he's on to something. : ) It's nice to be able to take care of myself and enjoy the smaller pleasures of life, rather than rushing past them in the name of finishing whatever was left undone till the last possible minute. It is something that I want to keep going in my life. It's difficult to remember when there are SO many opportunities all around me; I always want to do everything. But, in the end, you can only do so much ... and it IS really lovely to just be content.
I'm really tired and should get some sleep, but I do hope to write again soon! Thanks for checking up on my blog!
