Day one of Happiness Journal
In one of my classes the small group (that I am thrilled to be a part of) has chosen to grow ourselves in joy this week by noting 5 things that brought us joy daily.
Here is my list for Monday September 25
1) Tea on a cold night while reading across the table from my roommate Katie
2) Selling a sofa at work to a really nice lady
3) My friend Sugar and her crocheting patterns (can you say poncho??)
4) Crawling into bed with a great book (Blink - no idea who the author is...)
5) Baby Maxson was born! He is as of yet, un-named.

Catch me I'm falling
I went for a lovely drive this weekend through some of the back roads of MI. Frankly, I got lost driving to a church retreat, but I find any drive can be lovely, even if you have no idea where you are.
I found one road that belongs in a dramatic scene in a movie when someone is declaring their ultimate desire for chocolate (or something equally important) with a long shot from the outside of the car with the trees huggin' in on the sides of the road and the leaves gently glowing yellows and oranges, and dramatic Yo Yo Ma strains playing in your head.
It made me feel like a slice of pure joy had fallen right out of God's hand and into the road in front of me. Breath taking.

Summer Break
So this "break" (thus bracketed due to the lack of rest and free time, so not really a break) I am working like crazy. We are painting the store where I work and the yearly county fair is going on and we have to man our booth there. Fairs are crazy! The food alone could kill you by walking by it! Soooo much gease!
I have been able to slip away to camp for a weekend. Fabulous! Highly recommend camping in MI with awesome friends! We went to a wee park called Yankee Springs. Lots of water and trees and nature. Just beware the fire. It burns.
This time with no classes has only allowed me to work harder on other projects. My yard is looking good! I have gotten back to running. I actually ironed clothes. And I am planning for a trip to see Niagra Falls.
I can sleep when I am dead right?

Finals Week
This Thursday will find me sitting in a tiny desk in a freezing cold classroom taking finals. These will be the last finals of my fist semester of grad. school.
Got home last night after work exhausted and I still had to study. A paper to write, take home quiz to finish, and two finals to be prepping for.
I am so grateful I don't have to keep this pace up forever! Of course this new vegan diet may help give me energy, so maybe I could go on like this for oh say another year and a half....
PTL for He is good.
