contentedness

I don't really have a lot to say except that I'm super happy right now. Well, maybe "happy" isn't the best word -- "contented" would be a better one. Life still isn't perfect (shocker), but I have so much to be thankful for. Just a few things...

I don't have a job yet, but there are a few opportunities that might work out. We'll see. I'm glad I have my Mary Kay business to fall back on; sales have been good this month, and I should be getting a commission check, too. I'd like to book some facials to refresh my memory, so if you have a few minutes and want to try a new look, let me know. :)

My best friend of 10 years and pseudo-sis, Lindsey, lives 982 miles away, but I had the chance to talk for quite a while with her on the phone yesterday, which is something that doesn't happen very often. We laughed until I was collapsed on the floor in tears. :D I can't wait to find out for sure if our plans will work out for a visit in June. Hanging out, photo shoots, a luau...just seeing her again...so excited!

I haven't been in the best spiritual shape lately, so to speak, but church this week was extremely constructive. I've been feeling that nudge to make some changes, and tonight I had the chance to start. Love and selflessness were the two major concepts that hit home. I'm going to post 1 Corinthians 13 somewhere I will see it every day, because when Aaron read it tonight, I couldn't help but cringe. I haven't been doing a fantastic job of living out that kind of love. If my brothers and sisters can't count on me to be gracious, loving, forgiving, and to put their best interests above my own -- who can they count on? We need each other.

I still have boxes and boxes of stuff from school to go through and organize, but my room looks fantastic now. I cleaned out all of the other junk, dusted, and vacuumed, and I just love the way it feels and smells. :) I don't know what it is about vacuuming that makes a room feel so good. Anyway, despite all the junk I still have to sort through, I'm happy -- and thankful just to have a room and things to put in it.

My to-do list was so long today, but I accomplished nearly everything on it. It feels great. Now I'm so ready for tomorrow... :D Speaking of which, I should probably go to bed and get some rest.

Psalm 107:1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
