A Beautiful Life...

Hola everyone! So I haven't updated you since I recently quit my job and decided to move back home.  Well, that's pretty much all that has happened.  I packed my clothes and my dogs and headed south.  I go back to work at my much loved Homer Hospital tomorrow.  And I'm excited/thrilled/ecstatic about returning to work!  I haven't been this excited to go to work...ever...no I really don't think I ever have felt just like this.  I wake up happy and go to sleep happy and I'm happy all in between.  And its all because of a little town in South Arkansas that I used to dream about leaving.  It's funny how life teaches us lessons.  None of the plans that I've made thus far in life have turned out like I thought.  The wonderful/startling thing about that is that I typically prefer the way they actually turn out as opposed to how I thought it would go.  So suddenly I'm not so tense about the future and planning out the next ten years in extraordinary detail...nope, I'm just thrilled to wait and see what happens.  It's kind of like waiting for the new season of True Blood...I am in eager anticipation.  That said, I don't mean that having plans is a bad idea or that people shouldn't move away and try a new locale.  I am definitely glad to have made the move and still a little sad/melancholy that it didn't go as planned.  I'm also glad to be able to realize the pleasure in just living.  Doing day to day things that otherwise seem boring have a new fun-ness (not a word, I know).  This is not an altogether unknown thing to me, following my divorce (numero uno, that's right ladies and gents, I've made the fatal mistake of marrying the wrong fella twice in my less than thirty years) I found extreme happiness in going to the grocery store or watching a movie or folding laundry.  Everything seemed new and fresh and fun.  And apart from a few bumps in the road since then, my life has pretty much been that way.  I am blessed and lucky and fortunate and so many other adjectives of the same nature. 
It doesn't hurt that I leave on a Carribean cruise next week and in May I'm spending eleven days in Europe.  Yep folks, I'm going across the pond.  I'm running out of adjectives to describe how I'm feeling these days...happy, joyful, excited, thrilled, pleased, ecstatic, jumping up in down/can't control myself....So my plan is to enjoy all of the wonderful things going on right now.  I will graduate with my undergrad in August.  Something I have been working on for quite some time so I'm pretty pumped about that.  I am thinking of pursuing a Master's to become a family nurse practitioner after that but I'm really not planning anything right now.  I am going to enjoy going to the market and watching silly movies and folding my laundry and cooking dinner for my roomies and walking my dogs...well as you can see, I could go on all day. 
So have a beautiful day.  Be happy.  Be positive. Let life happen.  Have a beautiful life.
