Smashing Pumpkins

I've got today stuck in my head as I prepare for bed tonight - I've also got on the roof again in there, for which Mike Swalm is entirely responsible.

And yes, I am going to bed at 8 pm tonight - so tired today. But a good tired.

I love my job. I love the people I meet, the way I get to interact with them . . . I even like that it's downtown, which is wild. I usually hate urban areas. But as I walked out the door after my little (emphasis on little) workout, there was this wonderful sense of contentedness.

I love where I'm at in life right now. I love the good things in my life, because they daily give me things to be thankful for, and I love the bad things, because they daily remind me I can't do any of this on my own. I love that I'm not perfect, I love that life is not inherently safe, and I love that risks pay off.

Today was the greatest day I've ever known . . . and I love that everything in life will be and can be redeemed, even lyrics meant to express suicidal thoughts.

Don't get me wrong - my life is far from perfect. It's not even ideal. If I was interested in doing so, I could list 20 things off the top of my head that could stress me out about my life right now. But why? There was so many little things that happened today to make it great, that tonight I go to bed anticipating tomorrow.

La vita e bella :)
