Ode To The Good Days

here is an appreciation post for the good days.

early last week, after finishing one of the many tennis practices that have been on the agenda, I took a moment to dump some thoughts into my tumblr:

Today, the first thing I said when I got into the car was, “today was a good day.” You know I think there is a lot to be said for this. We spend so many days waiting to get back in bed or for the day to be over. We wish away time waiting for some day in the future. When one single bad thing happens, we classify that day as a bad day. So here is a recognition post for a good day. Here’s to stringing together more good days. Here’s to a lifetime filled with joyous good days.
--Ode to the good days (4-8-15)

so once again, as I got in bed tonight after another crazy day -- this thought crossed my mind again. "Today was a good day."

this week was a good one. a really good one. this week I felt like myself again. I didn't feel like I was changing to be someone for someone or something else. I got to spend time with people who really make me happy. and I got to do things I love.

happy heart going into this week y'all. 

here's to making everyday a good day.

Scatter Brained and Reflective

hello my loves:)

these past few weeks have been probably the craziest of my school year thus far so here is a crazy, scatter-brained attempt of a glimpse into my life at the moment.

with dozens of tests before spring break, i was cramming non stop like a mad man. right after i finished my last exam, my family and i hopped on a plane and headed straight to the big apple. man oh man, was that heaven on earth. time flew there as well, the days all seemed to run together due to the amount of fun we were having.

after we got home from the big city, we celebrated my birthday on the 22 and then classes resumed the following day. i dove right back into all the craziness. among the many things, tennis season is now well underway and making me a bit crazy. with practices every day and my own weight training / fitness regime thrown in, i am beyond exhausted. i pretty much go from the classroom to the court to my desk and then fall into my bed at night.

to top it all off, i'm in quite a reflective period at the moment. things are falling into perspective for me and i'm learning more about myself than i ever thought was possible. not that this has been easy by any means, but i have faith that this will only propel me forward on this crazy journey.

now that we're in the final, home stretch for summer, i am hoping things will calm down (as i type this i realize the irony in the fact that this is merely the calm before the storm and that i will be forced to face final exams before i even begin to picture myself laying by the pool). i'm ready for some time off and the opportunity to pour more of my time into things i love.

God is good, y'all. we can never forget that.
