out with the old

Got my music playing softly in the background, the window in my room is open just enough to allow a cool breeze to blow through. I love opening my windows late at night when the weather is just right out. I like for things to lean more towards the cool side, I also enjoy listening to all the random nature sounds. The whole combination is very lulling; I literally zone out and enter a place of serenity that nothing can compare to. After today at work I just want to relax. We were very busy, especially towards the end. Oddly enough, I still got off on time. I felt very accomplished, considering how insanely busy things were. Christina (one of my co-workers) & I went and ate dinner with Dr. McCall and her family at her house. I enjoyed it. Jacob & I played the Wii while we waited on the food to finish cooking. Nintendo has changed quite a bit since I was kid, but I can say that I really have fun playing it. Nothing like being a kid again!

On to the issue at hand. Well, I guess I shouldn't say "issue" because that insinuates some sort of problem. I'm not having any real issues or problems. But in my quest for freedom and that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow (happiness), I've hit a few hurdles. I am so happy I don't even know what to do. I know life is never perfect, it's almost like we go through trials, then once we come out of that we have a brief reprieve before something else happens to make us stronger. Right now I feel happier than I have in years. I've made new friends and I've grown much closer to my old friends (those who have chosen to remain true). Over the last week or so, I've had a few people to begin telling me that I'm setting myself up for failure by associating with certain new friends. I had to remind myself that the people trying to tell me this aren't even my friends, and the particular person they're 'warning' me about has, in my opinion changed. I am at a point to where I feel that I am in control of my life and my decisions for the first time in a long time. I only want to make choices that are going to be fruitful in my life. I really feel that I'm doing what is right for me. So until God says otherwise I am going to continue being happy and doing what I've been doing. My life has turned around dramatically since last month, and it's all good. I'm happy and that's what matters, right?
