I am in my new house and it smells like vanilla lavender. The floor board creeks, the chair I'm sitting in creeks too. Everything has that old house comfort to it. Old fixtures, old ceilings with a bit of modern touch poured into it.
A song about God watering souls is playing. Acoustic guitar, sweet female vocals echoing off of the walls. And I believe the words with all of my heart.
This is my home. And in so many ways it is perfect.
I am thankful tonight. I am aware of the good things that are going on in and around me. I will meet sweet Mateois tomorrow and hold him and kiss him and continue this journey of loving him. I am proud that today two of my greatest friends celebrated their one year wedding anniversary, nostalgically thinking of that beautiful wedding I was a part of. My best friend speaking on my behalf with great passion tonight makes me continually thankful we have gone through valleys and over mountains together. My incredible sister is starting grad school and I know that she will one day be able to impact even more people because of this courageous step towards her future. She has come so far and I have been honored to be a part of it. I love my job and the challenges and opportunities it gives me to continually develop myself. There are people who have not hesitated to stand behind me as I make some "adult" decisions. "You knew the answer before you asked the question." And I did. It feels incredible to know that people love me and will always support me.
I am genuinely in a place of "good."
In short, I love life and all of the things that makes up these days and months and years.
