I awoke this morning to bright sunshine and a particularly rested, cozy feeling. I rolled over lazily to check the time on my cell phone only to see a bright 11:30 AM glaring off the screen. The all too familiar frustrated disappointment that accompanies the realization that one has overslept flooded through me like a shock wave, quickly followed by a similar wave of sardonic amusement. "A new year doesn't change everything" I thought to myself as I rolled out of bed.
The rest of the day was filled with life-giving pursuits a-plenty. I had a long quiet time, worked on the wedding website, went for a run with James, went grocery shopping, watched Community (arguably one of the most HILARIOUS shows on TV right now), made dinner, and played a little Gears of War. All in all, except for missing church this morning, I've had a pretty excellent day.
After such an amazing couple days off, the realities of this next semester began hitting me today. All of this delightfully quiet introspection and gleeful pursuit of simple pleasures will soon dwindle to what I can squeeze in on the occasional week night. I adore school, but I am not looking forward to the onset of crazy schedules and the pressures that accompany working, going to school, and fulfilling other obligations. Also, after the amount of time James and I have been able to spend together, I've never been more ready to elope and just be married! Saying goodnight to him is by far the hardest part of every day.
Ah but time marches on and the next four and a half months wont really be that bad. School will be fun, friends will be amazing, work will be fulfilling, James and I will spend plenty of time together, and God will always be good. And on this lazy Sunday, I will sit back and enjoy the tranquility.
For good measure, here's a link to the video whose namesake I borrowed for this blog title. I'm pretty sure this never gets old!
Until tomorrow...
