Trust the Universe. No really.

Ever have one of those moments where you realize you've pretty much got exactly what you wanted.

Yeah. I had that this weekend.

With the exception of the facts that number 1, my best friend lives in Cali and number 2, I really REALLY miss Raleigh.... I've pretty much got it together.

I'm working. In a job that I love. In the field that I spent four years preparing for.

Not only am I working, but I have a supportive (albeit slightly twisted) work family. :) 

My students are growing and changing in SPITE of their clueless teacher.

I got to move close to my mom again and spend tons of time with her and family. When you lose your dad at 15- you realize how important TIME is.

I'm saving a TON of money living where I am so that I might have the ability to buy my own place this summer. Ciao pet and security deposits...hello fenced in back yard!

I have friends that understand my reasons for moving home and let me come visit and take complete advantage of their hospitality/ come visit me and brighten up my weekends.

With a recent visit to the Dr. I discovered there is a REASON for all of my crazy health anomalies and found a medication that is helping me to be healthier than I have ever been before.

Plus, on top of all of this, I have the most fantastic dog in the entire world.

..oh yeah. And I think I've got my personal life straightened out.

When you put it all out there like that it makes it hard to bitch and complain about the little things. Maybe I'm not exactly where I thought I would be and MAYBE my life has been crazy since graduation. But, I find comfort in the fact that there was a reason for it all- and no matter who or what you attribute that to, I am thankful.

It seems the universe knows what I need better than I do. (Note to self: trust universe and chill the -insert expletive here- out.)
