it's a wonderful life

today was a wonderful day. i love my church. it has been a really long time since i have ached to go to church, but this morning it felt like being with family. i no longer wanted to hide in the back row and slip out during the benediction. i want everyone to know my name. i want to be a part of this community. that feels good. i realized today that i'm not as young as i once was, but i think i'm a little wiser and that makes me happy. today i spent time with my good friends, we laughed, and we sulked a little.

i spent time with my precious sister, who makes me laugh and who i'm very proud of, 22 is a hard age. i wouldn't go back.

today the sun was shining and it was eighty degrees; beautiful. as i write this i'm eating a small dinner of crackers and cheese with a large glass of wine. i'm listening to george winston. and i'm thinking about when we'll all be together.

i guess it doesn't take much to make my day wonderful. i'm thankful that i am free to enjoy these small moments of this good life that i live.
