Grateful

Do you ever have those days where you are simply grateful for your life? Days where you look around and feel pretty darn content?  I'm not talking about a time when nothing is wrong, when you don't have a care in the world. I think these days are better. You see the troubles, you are aware of your life, with all its ups and down, and you are still happy.

Last night, I had one of those days. I was driving home and an amazing feeling came over me. I felt okay. I felt blessed. I felt like things would be okay.

It was really a pretty ordinary day. I worked, had some good moments and some really tough ones, but that's the usual. Then I headed to my church to volunteer for a few hours. Next was meeting up with two of my best friends for some Zumba. That felt good. On the way home, we chatted about my upcoming birthday and their very secretive plans!  Then it was to home. And life felt good.

Despite my stressors at work, in life, and (being the type-A person who prefers to be in control) my birthday - I just felt content.

I love those days. I sincerely hope that everyone gets to experience a day like that, at least once in a while.  It is pretty amazing.

So, for my song of the day, I am going with "Happier?" by Teddy Geiger.  It is off of his new album, "The Last Fear", which, by the way, is phenomenal.  In it, he asks...Could I be happier?  And right now, I'm okay without answering it.  Maybe the grass is always greener on the other side, but I am okay with how things are.  I am very content, and that makes me extremely happy.

Therefore, I give you "Happier?" by Teddy Geiger.
