A Good Day
I am sitting in a little deli in my hometown of Melrose. I just finished of a yummy grilled veggie wrap.
I woke up at 3:30 AM Sunday morning and was unable to go back to sleep. As i lay there - after putting my two year old niece back in her bed since she had rolled off her little bed (the thud was probably what originally woke me!) - I realized my week would increasingly get busy, with the possibility of a job starting up in Columbia, SC. I knew I needed to get back to Melrose to pack up my room and my earthly belongings so get it ready to move up to SC. So, i hopped up as quietly as i could and shoved my toothbrush and toothpaste in my purse, popped my contacts in, and headed South.
As i drove, it was still dark and i was happy to be up to see the morning miracle of dawn! I also enjoyed a moment of thankfulness; being single i have the freedom of doing what i was doing - spontaneously jumping in my car, with as little packed as ever, and heading out! Oh the bliss of singleness! I like to capture those moments because sometimes, being single, people begin to think all you want to do is get married and they give you some sort of pity - "ah, your day will come..." But, i am here to proclaim that TODAY is my day and It is here to be enjoy to its fullness....so i enjoy it! If a man comes into my life tomorrow, at God's Hand - that will be good too!
So, i shocked my roommate by arriving at 10:15 a.m. in the morning - i did send her a text saying i was coming home, 30 minutes before driving up into the driveway.... I had to crash for a few hours.., oh, how wonderful my bed is! - I have been packing like a mad-woman and realizing how much unnecessary stuff i have; the good-will store is going to love me! Tomorrow i head back to SC and get to work.
Oh - I signed on a house!!! It is so cute. I will be posting pictures soon! I can hardly wait to move in and start renovating! All those hours of watching HGTV will pay off!
