L: Different Kinds of Happy.

There are different kinds of happy. And these last two days have been filled with lots of happy. Happiness makes me feel spoiled. It’s very different from joy. Joy is something you choose and happiness is something extra. My two days have been filled with extras. I’m so blessed.

Yesterday, I drove to a gorgeous cemetery, had a pretty view, and sat on a bench staring at the fall leaves and sky. I talked (out loud)(while alone)(a stranger walked near me and I didn’t realize it… awkward) with God for quite some time.

I got new shoes the other day. They reflect things. Mostly, they reflect the sky and the sun which are two of my favorite things in nature.

I sat in an office this morning with my big sis. She’s teaching me things about her job because I’m going to be working there. But the best part right now isn’t necessarily the job; it’s that I get to spend so much time with her before she moves away. I love her a lot.

I got my braces off. Happy cannot even partially express how I feel. More like ecstatic, giddy, and grown-up.

My life has changed — quite a bit! — since I last wrote but I am so excited. I’m so looking forward to starting a job, having a “life”, and serving Jesus. Does it get any better than new shoes, time with family, and a God who loves me a ridiculous amount?
