Happiness

Well its thoroughly embarrassing that my last post was in January, but i don't wanna waste any more words on that.

I am back to writing because i want to capture an incredibly wonderful moment i had tonight. There have been a few times since i moved to St. Louis that i have been randomly, unpredictably overtaken by complete happiness. One such time happened tonight. Since my memory is shoddy at best, i am putting it into words that hopefully i will come back to read one day.

There was nothing particularly special about tonight. But then again, i guess you could say everything was special. I was driving home from my Monday night volleyball game thinking... I am in a sand volleyball league. With cool people. That i met at school. Happiness = check. I just got off the phone with someone i care deeply about and who makes me smile on a daily basis. Probably an hourly basis. Happiness = check. I am on my way to my apartment... which i greatly enjoy calling home. And share with a person who will be a lifelong friend. Happiness = check. And upon arriving home, i had plans to Skype with my brother. Who is loving school. And has blossomed into an outgoing, driven, personable, intelligent, and motivated person since moving to college. Happiness = check.

Like i said before, nothing is particularly earth shattering about any of these things but thats what makes it so great. I have created a life for myself here in St. Louis that i love and these little, everyday things bring me lots of happiness. Its incredibly comforting and humbling. Thank you, God, for all these sources of happiness.

Just one week left of being a first-year MBA. I'm growing up so fast! Haha. Here's to an awesome finish (and much more happiness to come!).
