Simple Happy

15 Mar Simple Happy

Last week was spring break…my first spring break in graduate school. I am apparently under the false misconception that everything is new, shiny (yes, shiny) and different in graduate school. It’s not. In fact, spring break was just like another week except with less class. I don’t mind class it’s when I get to see my friends and soak up the overwhelming wisdom of my professors but, alas…no class for me. In fact I didn’t do anything extraordinary however, I did do some soul restoration. Time spent with my favorite boy, time enjoying the sunshine, soaking in my loving God. It was so very nice. I allowed myself a week that I planned to be incredibly productive while simultaneously being completely void of anxiety and stress.

The void of anxiety and stress made the trip but productivity seemed to be left behind somewhere in Atlanta, on campus…perhaps he stayed in the library. I’m not sure…either way he did not join me this week.

One could easily imagine the stress that is setting in as we speak, oozing in under the door frame, seeping in through the cracks in the winds like the cold wind that was here not too long ago…this assumption would be wrong. I have stayed true to my no stress and even now with papers and books looming overhead, stress is nowhere to be found

…only simple delight in the life I have been blessed with. The undeserving grace I have been shown. The intimate love that is just being discovered. Joy. Overwhelming peace. And happiness.

That is all. Duty calls…or maybe sleep. Photos will be shared soon of my crazy-insane-once-in-a-lifetime-experience-you’ll-never-believe-what-happened-to-me-you’re-mama’s-so-SB2011.

For now I leave you with two of my favorites…the first for the song. I simply adore it. The second for the music that makes my heart grin, hum and bounce along.
