I'm not just happily hoping . . .

Have you ever spent so much of your life wanting something to happen and then it does . . . and you have to pinch yourself to believe that you're really in it? That's a little of what my life feels like right now. In the middle of all the jumble and hustle of trying to write a thesis, get my course work done and live my life, its there. Part of me wants to write all the details of my happy life on my blog and spill it all out, but mostly I just want to sit here quietly and enjoy how sometimes in life I don't need to hope - because good things really do come true.
I think I spend so much of my life looking to the future and planning for it, but days like today I can live just in the moment and enjoy it all. The sunny skies, laughing and playing, good conversation, good food and most of all the sweet together time.
I'm still stressed about how to get my thesis written by the deadline, find a job, know where to move, and shape my career, but despite all of that I can't help but acknowledge life is good - better than I expected.
