Many (one) of you have been wondering when I would post my next blog. It has been a long time, I'll admit, but I can't say that much has happened. I can, however, tell you what has NOT happened. I'm not dating, engaged, pregnant, studying, changing a tire (yet), or hitting on the nearest waiter (yet). I'm sitting in my clean, vacuumed room.
I am in Nirvana.
Sometimes I just stop whatever I'm doing, gaze directly ahead of me, and think...THIS moment is perfect. I am finished with my first semester at THE UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON (top 10 Catholic University in the nation) and I'm watching the A's roll in. I worked out for an hour...10 minutes of which consisted of this MASSIVE man hitting on me. By massive, I mean very muscular (he asked me what I was training for because of my strength...which...that's kind of running a risk because not every woman would see that as a compliment, but I did...but I digress). As I sit and gaze, ghosts of goals past visit me in the hour allotted and I find that they have been met...checked off...completed...finished...taken out to the back 40 and put out of their misery. I'm where I wanted to be only MORESO because I would not have thought my path would lead me here. It's like when you climb a mountain...you like the view from the ground, but when you climb and expect to see what you do on the ground, you are happily surprised to see that the view is SO much better than you would have expected it to be. All the grasping for edges of rock, scraping, dehydration synthesis (I threw that in for those biologists out there), work, work, and more work...suddenly seems to be coming to fruition and you actually see that there is progress.
The view is breath taking...AND I'M NOT EVEN DONE YET!
Sorry to yell, but this is exciting news for me...and it should bring hope to women everywhere. If YOU felt as if you had hit the mother lode of happiness, wouldn't YOU yell? I think you would. This doesn't mean that I don't have my off days...trust me when I say...I have plenty. But for today, I'm going to let all those endorphins built up at the gym...and the fact that I don't have to study...work for me while I sit and ponder this perfect moment.
I have arrived!
So I will share a few things on my mind which are making this moment possible:
*Wonderful friends who listen to me whine...
*A clean room...undefiled by man
*Most of the bills paid
*My cat Snake...it'll be just me and him in 7 years...I'm buying a Harley and we're going to tour America
*The fact that I have a "balance apparatus" in my garage...and intend on using it to the fullest
*Wonderful friends who listen to me whine...
*Health and strength (insert inappropriate comment here)
*Healthy, happy, and smart children
*Endorphins
*Eggs from cage-free chickens
*A day where I can do anything I want to...unhindered...without guilt or malice...undefiled by man
*Monster energy drinks
*Wonderful friends who listen to me whine
*The Buddha
*My Savior for accepting the challenge of ME...He's a brave man for sure
...just to name a few and not in any particular order. Quite a list, huh? And I'm not even done...but I will let that suffice. Let's just sum up by saying that amid what feels to be chaos and frenzy, there are moments of peace, joy, and happiness. I'm sure I'll regret writing this, because I'll have 'one of those days' and peace, joy,, and happiness will go out the window, but for now Nirvana is a great place to be and I'm hoping to be here for a long time. At least until the kids get home.
