A Fresh Start

So, a lot has changed in my life over the past few months, but I'm not going to worry about explaining any of that here. As far as I'm concerned, this is a fresh start. :)

You know...I really couldn't be happier with life than I am right now. It's just ridiculous. And it's more than just having amazing friends, intriguing classes, rediscovered passions, or a sense of vitality and confidence; it's having a peace that quiets the mind, a contentment that calms the soul, and a joy that overflows my spirit.

I suppose it didn't all appear suddenly. Actually, I'm sure it didn't. I think it was born when I shattered my jar a couple of weeks ago, and it's grown since then as God has taught me to choose faith, choose hope, choose peace, choose contentment, and choose joy. I think I'm going to write all of those down and stick them to the ceiling above my bed tomorrow so that they're the first thing I see in the morning when I open my eyes.

Anyway, it's really late, and I'm not enjoying the feeling of tiredness quite so much anymore. Maybe classes will be canceled tomorrow; maybe they won't. Either way, life goes on, and God is good. What more can I ask for?
