This is All I Ever Wanted from Life

So, it's the new year.  I'm a little late on wishing you all a fabulous 2012, eighteen days to be exact.  Sorry about that, but hopefully it has and will continue to be an amazing new year.  


When this time of year rolls around everyone usually is making/breaking some new year's resolutions.  I honestly don't think I've ever made a resolution for the new year, because if I'm being completely honest I don't think I could ever stick to it.  I'm a "take life day by day" kind of a girl so, it's hard to plan on something for an entire year when I have no idea where my life is headed.  As of right now I am at, or was at the beginning of the year, a fork in my life.  Now, I've chosen my path and have started to skip along down the road.  I am now living at home with my parental unit again, saving money, which is always a wonderful thing.  I'm able to see them more and appreciate them even more for who they are in my life.  I am in the healthiest relationship I have ever been in with a man that I am beyond blessed to have by my side every day.  There is not a single day that goes by that I don't fall in love all over again.  My relationship with God is the most real, pure and true thing it's ever been.  I have never been more grateful for my life and everything that I've gone through than I am at this very moment.  


I have been having these moments every day where I'm lost in my own head like usual, and all of a sudden everything just clears and I have an overwhelming feeling of joy for where I am in life and who is in it.  Everything just kind of clicks.  They'll be at the most random times, too.  For example, driving home from Branson with Caleb taking a scenic route and watching the sunset, or laying in bed listening to Explosions in the Sky or sitting in the Andy's parking lot for two hours or sitting at the Bistro Starbucks with a friend who, every time I hang out with or talk to I realize our friendship is nothing short of God's work.  


I don't even know why I am trying to put all of this into words, because literally nothing can describe any of it.  Take a few minutes out of your day, turn on some Explosions in the Sky, close your eyes and reflect on your life, everything about it- good and bad.  I promise you the good will blur everything else out.  Be grateful.  Don't take life for granted, but don't take it too seriously.  Life is a gift.  Enjoy it.
