beauty in the unexpected

currently i love my life. i am surrounded (literally and figuratively) by an amazing group of people i am blessed to call my friends and family. i am living in one of the most beautiful places in the country. i have a job i enjoy, where i get to work with a great group of people. i am daily thankful for the little things that make my life great.
in the past i'd always lived in the 'long' term. oh sure, there were days when i made quick decisions that changed the course of my life in big or small ways. but mostly i had an overall mental plan and it was in years. now? i'm living on much shorter terms. and i love it. i'm enjoying life for this moment in time. my entire world may change in a year, (heck, a year ago i'd never thought i'd be living in colorado) in a month, in a week. to me, it's exciting. i don't know what tomorrow holds. next year i may be living in bolivia or fiji or kansas. but you'd better believe that i'm going to enjoy every moment of whatever comes. i realize not every day will be great. in fact, i'm sure there will be days of struggle. but i also know that i will come out of those days a better, stronger person. wonderful :) here's to a year of appreciation, love, and JOY :) wherever, whenever, whatever happens.


right now, in this moment...i'm happy.

always,
amanda
