this day,

I will stand up for myself and my beliefs.

I will turn the other cheek.

I will not dwell on this negative situation and continue to move forward.

I will act like I hope my daughter would act in this situation.

I will be excited about this new venture, and not afraid.

oh boy.

Oh boy, is this girl excited today. Beautiful breeze, coffee, research papers complete, made a new friend, about to meet a friend for more coffee and books, then off to lunch with one of the funniest people I know, then a netflix evening with my little girl.

amazing family. check. amazing friends. check. amazing love of my life. check.

Now, if someone were to give me a minature baby panda or a baby beluga for my bathtub I may just pass out.

But until then I am going to enjoy every minute of this new day.

There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.

I want to tell this past weekend, thank you. Thank you for filling me up with love, laughter, delicious food, beer, (lots and lots of beer), hugs, more hugs, and a sneak peak into my future.

The last four days proved to me in the most natural of ways that my life is going to be everything that I have hoped for. A life that in certain down moments, I felt was truly not possible. This natural ball of energy hung out this weekend and bounced off individuals, moments, words, hearts. It was like this ball would bounce at a situation and say,
"Hey you...are you paying attention? Do you see this? How amazing is this? This is your life."
or,
"Hey you, do you see that man? He just did something for you in complete thoughtfulness. He loves you with his whole heart. He makes you feel safe. Accept it, this is what you deserve."

"This is your Life."

I am in awe of what I am receiving in my life. I am so thankful for what the Universe has given me and I hope that I am doing my part to continue the cycle of,
complete awesomeness.

Swallowing. (yeah, I just said that.)

Swallowing pride. In order to get positive results. My lesson.

I am learning that TRUST equals not having to remind others of what you stand for.
Less arguments.
More understanding.
A big laugh when the situation is over.

O joy.

Rinse and repeat.
