Life is Good!

I should be in bed right now because I need to be at work super early tomorrow. However, I am so excited about life right now that I wouldn't be able to sleep anyway. So why try? Why am I so excited? Let me count the ways.... My brother is dating a girl I love. He's happy which makes me even happier. I have awesome friends. Spring is here! The last couple of weeks have brought with them fun trips. Like the National Aquarium in Baltimore and the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. I have a new job! Great money and I can ride my bike there!! I'm finally leaving the corporate world - hopefully for good. I'm driving across country with one of my best friends as she relocates to the west coast. We get to go camping together across the U.S. and get a very personal extended good-bye. Simon continues to fill the four-legged companion void in my life. My Mom has come out of winter hibernation and we have started weekly dates. I spoiled myself today with a mini shopping spree. I'm getting my first tattoo. I'm living in a city that isn't perfect but that I have carved a life out in and I love. I can take a two minute walk to the water and see amazing sights like this. I'm attending an outdoor leadership course with Outward Bound in the fall where I will be certified to start trip leading. It is a huge step towards reaching my goal of entering a new career as an outdoor educator. Yay! After visiting Washington, D.C. and seeing the flags at half-mass firsthand, I helped my company raise thousands of dollars for the VT tragedy memorial fund last week. It left me with the feeling that I had made a contribution to the healing of the students, faculty and families involved. I'm sure there is so much more if I sat and gave it more thought. But I do need to get to bed. It is just so awesome how so many things are coming together! Yay!! What is something great going on in your life?
