Amazement

Today was a clear-minded, full of belly laughs day...much needed. Looking out my window at 8am and seeing a clear blue sky with perfectly placed, cotton ball puffs was enough to bring a smile to my face. Me and a close pal went to class as planned, and luck was on our side, as our t.a. stood us up, so I got to drill internship interview questions to her. I LOVE helping people plan life like I got to today. Following non-class, we went for a light yog on the beach. There is something special about finding a running partner who can run right in tandum with you, and you don't feel embarrassed by asking to slow the pace, or to stretch. We walked back in the deep sand, and I felt guilty about squishing the perfectly formed sea shells under my asics. The tide was high, making the beach perfect. We had amazing conversations about how we are firm believers that some higher up power brought us all together in Wales to become fab friends (in addition to others) who work together well. I can't describe the feeling I get when I know I have friends who accept me the way I am...even when I act my shoe size and not my age, or get type A (I'm gettin MUCH better at not being so up tight). Following this fantastic, leisurly workout, we took a bus (yeah, we were too sore to walk up the hills home...) back, where I took a shower.

You know how sometimes, some showers are just way better than others? This was one of those showers where the steam just seemed to soak into my pores, and it was just refreshing. The next class was not so hot, but meh, you can't have it all :) This was followed by my first Indian Cuisine experience, yumtown, and watching part of Harry Potter.

The night was concluded by a great conversation with my sister about how Christianity involves much interpretation, and thought. That is what is so amazing is that it requires you to think about things, develop your own beliefs, and God says its ok to do that.

So here I am, laying in my bed ready to crash, and just thinking about all of the luck in my life. I can't think of a negative thought I had today, minus being a tad crabby at my t.a. for not showing up to class at 9. The waves were perfect, the crests were even white capped. The sand squished perfectly under my feet. It was just a bubbly day :)
