Life is a lot of fun when you are happy.

After what seemed like a gazillion bad or so-so days in a row, days where getting out of bed was a serious burden (and that is usually NOT me), I am finally having a succession of days where life is just wonderful! Here is my list of reasons life is good now (it was fine before, but now it is good)

• I knew this week was starting off good because I brought the right file to class so I could give my presentation! Happiness!!! (last week I was supposed to give the presentation, but brought the wrong file and couldn't do it...shucks) Today, I had to do 2 presentations in class, but I think they both went well...at least people weren't falling asleep on me- which is always a good sign.
  
• I finally finished a project that I have been working on for at least 60 hours! In that 60 hour period my teacher told me that I would have to start the project over after I had put a good 40 hours in because it was a piece of crap (after she had been telling me I had been doing a good job). That dang project was almost the death of me. Literally. Whenever I thought about it I wanted to cry.
  
• I have seen about 15 people I know at work and on campus today. I love seeing people I know. I love walking to school with people I know. I love seeing people smile at me (and smiling back at familiar faces) and knowing that in the crowd of 30,000 people that BYU is, there are people that I can smile at, chat with, and care about during my day. I love people. I love giving/getting hugs. I love talking to people. People make me excited. It just makes life a little less drab, you know?
• I have begun to realize the benefits of exercise. Not that I love it. I really don't like it while I am doing it, but afterward I feel great. Rejuvenated. I am not addicted to exercise by any means, but I have discovered some of the benefits. After all, "Exercise gives you endorphins, endorphins make you happy, and happy people don't kill people."
• I tend to have interesting run-ins with, uh, law enforcers. Luckily, I have never received a ticket...even if I deserve one. This weekend was no exception!
• Lastly, I love my parents, I love my sisters, I love my brother. I think they rock! Having a great family is such a blessing in my life.
  

That is all. I can breathe a sigh of relief because I feel like I can once again enjoy life, the beautiful weather (minus the next couple days) and breathe happily! I hope you are feeling the same way.
