My heart is happy.
I can't pinpoint a precise reason why. Today wasn't particularly exhilirating. I didn't venture outside the house except to go to the bank and go to the bookstore briefly. I did deposit money (which is good) but I didn't buy a book because they didn't have what I was looking for. So it's not as though I have spent the last few hours captivated by another time and place that the pages of a novel often take you to. I didn't see any friends today. I didn't get thrilling news. But I am content.
Maybe it is the knowledge that God is in control and the peace that comes from knowing Him. I think it's partially because it's nice to have some downtime after holiday busyness. I believe it may be since I realize how blessed I am with the family I have and the moments we share together. We often don't seem to cherish them enough. Today I feel rather sentimental and reflective (although, I am not sure how nostalgic one can get at age 20. Hmmm....)
I love these moments when they come. Sometimes we get lost in the day to day rush, and it's nice to throw up your feet, breathe deeply and sigh relaxed, undisturbed sigh. How grateful I am that I am able to have times like these.
