No Good Reason (Day 243)

Ever had days like this?

Days where there's no reason to be happy about everything but you still are? Don't know why I'm having one of those days, but I'm so thankful I am! I love my job! I love my parents! I loved my breakfast, lunch, and dinner! I loved sweating today! I love the outcome of OU/TX! I love the reality of getting to stay in Tulsa!!! I love reading books (which I am right now)! I love my friends! I love being able to drive on nice roads! I love this computer! I love being happy!! I love that I get to sleep an extra hour tonight!

My job is almost finished and I'm now starting to see all of our hard work pay off. My parents came up to see all the improvements we made (they are a bit too proud of me). All of my meals were great (including the chocolate I got to eat). The air-conditioning wasn't on so I was sweating all day. Oklahoma won the big rivalry game! I get to stay with all of my friends and family in Tulsa!! I opted to read a book instead of watch a movie which is turning out to be very good. I just love the people who make my life enjoyable. The highways in Dallas are so wide and smooth. I have every bit of information I could ever want at my fingertips because of this computer. I get to sleep extra because my boss told me I could come in later tomorrow.

God has given me a remarkable peace which has helped me keep a positive attitude during this crazy time in my life. I should be upset and worried that a job passed me up, but instead I feel comfort. I wish I could bottle this up and send it to you so you could understand my joy. Just think of King David at his happiest and that's me.

I will praise you with the harp
for your faithfulness, O my God;
I will sing praise to you with the lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.

My lips will shout for joy
when I sing praise to you—
I, whom you have redeemed.

Psalm 71:22-23 (NIV)
