the good life

one of the things that i love most about where i live and work is that it is environment that breeds change and spontaneous opportunities.

this time last night, i was stuck both emotionally and mentally, yet tonight, i find myself quite content. in the span of 24 hours, i have had disheartening dreams, followed by incredible conversations with peers. i've been productive in my job, been a listening ear and moral supporter of my students. i've laughed in the middle of a loud and crowded cafeteria until my face hurt, and i felt the thudding of my living room floor while a dance party raged on for three hours beneath me.  i've had five fabulous sophomores drop in spontaneously and stay to watch movies, and when they left, i found that somehow throughout the day i had become unstuck.

how blessed am i to be where i am at this time in my life!? it is certainly a crazy lifestyle that many of my peers would reject, but i find it brings me life and joy in a way few things rarely can.

I wish I could come sit on your couch with you. Just us.

One of my favorite sounds is your laughter. I love days of becoming unstuck after weeks of the endless, merciless figure eight. Thank the God who Loves us for thumping floors, intentional conversations, random drop-ins, and crowded cafeterias. You are good at your job, Meredith! And, in the midst of a million unanswered questions, there no question that He is good to you!
