Lists

I should make lists for tomorrow.  Lists of things I need to get to be ready for Cole's wedding...lists of things I need to do besides my assistantship and project tomorrow...lists of things I want to rant about here but am not going to.  Instead I'm going to make a list of all the good things in my life.

Amazing Friends (I will never get enough of these wonderful people. You remind me of who I am)
An Assistantship!  (I am blessed beyond belief!  Not many people get half off tuition and trusted with important projects.)

A Computer (Five days without this guy and I've been going crazy!)
A Job (I know it's exhausting and a lot of work...but it's a good job. The people I work for love me, give me pastries and cupcakes, don't judge me when I eat gross food, and pay me well.)
Family (As much as we don't get along or understand one another, they're there for me)
Adventure (Yes...life is incredibly trying and boring right now...but I have had adventures beyond anything I ever expected.  I've done what I've dreamed of doing which means I'll do it again.  That is such a wonderful thing to know.)
Direction (I am heading in the direction of where I want to go.  I am embarking on a journey to lead to better understanding of mankind.  I am out of my mind.  I can't believe I am finally starting.)
I have food, I have hot water, I have wonderful roommates, I have a roof over my head and room to call my own.  I am so happy.  I am so blessed.  I have new friends and old friends.  I have undiscovered friends, and someone to think about when I go to bed at night.  I have things to cry about, things to laugh about.  I have things to get angry about!  I have so many things!  My life changes and moves!  My life lives!  Spirit flows through me and I am human.  I am in awe. 

Gibbous moon, oh unromantic night
One month anniversaries
True love is always right
It lasts, it flees, it melts away with the tide
Just as seasons change, always so will I
I mean, I want, I wish, and plan
Never is it so inspiring
That unexpected hand
Clutching tight my elbow
My heart waking up the house
