I'm happy.
Here are the reasons why, at this very moment, I'm feeling joy.

- my roomate comes home soon- tonight! and i miss her so much.
- I just went to California, my most favorite place in the world.
- We're back at Redeemer, and while it doesn't beat California sunshine, and I have midterms, I get to see my favorite people again.. and nothing's better if I can't share it all with them.
- Courtney doesn't have any more basketball!! WOOH! so she'll be around for dinner more often.
- I'm skipping my night class because I don't want to dance in front of people.. hahaha.
- I'm giving up facebook for lent and I feel really good about it because I love challenges and this is gunna be a big one.. hopefully I'll spend more time with God or doing important things in my free time.
- My heart is happy.
- I got to laugh a lot today.
- I'm growing up and I'm gunna be fine.
- I'm listening to really upbeat, crazy music hahaha.
"baby doll i think you struck a chord in my heart..." Lol i'm not even sure who I'm listening to but I think it's PlayRadioPlay...myspace them!
- I have the most amazing dorm - and I re-read the letter Ashley wrote me for the plane and it warmed my heart.
- I don't know why else.

This is something one of my good friends from highschool times (that I miss dearly) wrote recently on her blog, and I loved it.

Life Just Isnt..

Life isnt about keepin score. its not about how many people call you and its not about who you've dated, are dating or havent dated at all. it isnt about who you've kissed, what sport you play, or which guy or girl likes you. its not about your shoes or your hair or the colour of your skin or where you live or go to school. in fact, its not about grades, money, clothes, or colleges that accept you or not. life isnt about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone, and its not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. life just isnt about that..


But life is about who you love and who you hurt. its about how you feel about yourself. its about trust, happiness and compassion. its about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance, and building confidence. its about what you say and what you mean. its about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. most of all, its about choosing to use your life to touch someone else's in a way that could never have been achieved otehrwise. these choice are what life's about..
