The Good Life
These days whenever someone asks me how I am, the answer is always “great”. It seems like everything in my life is flowing so well. Everything makes so much sense to me. I don’t try to complicate things, and am happy living the simple life. If you would have told me 6 months ago that I’d been the Furniture manager at Office Depot, I probably would’ve scoffed.
I’ve thought about writing this blog for a few days now, just so that if I somehow become malcontent in the next few months, maybe I can look back and see what has gone wrong. By no means is my life perfect. I get stressed out at work, Crystal and I still know how to have a good fight, there’s not enough hours in the day, and there will never be enough money in the wallet.
It just seems that my stars have aligned. I am at peace with myself. I don’t have the worries that I used to have. I am back in Redlands where I belong, I have my dogs, my job, my friends, I have lost 40 lbs in the last year. This is the good life, right? I’M GETTING MARRIED!!!
I really don’t know if it’s me that’s changed, or the things around me. Maybe a little bit of both, but I just have the smallest thing like a warm cup of tea, or a delicious cone of ice cream and I am in my happy place.
