Oh so content.

I'm writing today because I want to remember how it feels to be just completely content with life. I'm in a really good spot in my life right now, and I'm loving it! I have a job that pays me well, is super flexible, and I have great co-workers. Also, my job gives me the means by which I can travel to all the places I've ever dreamed of! My trips to Europe and to the Eastern states were lifetime goals, and it gives me great satisfaction in life to finally be able to say that I've seen the Eiffel Tower, I've felt the peace of the Versailles Gardens, I know how small Mona Lisa is, I have been in the midst of the chaos of Times Square, I have seen the birthplace of our Declaration of Independence...

Not only have I finally reached a point in my life where I'm settled and excited about the future, but I'm also enjoying having more free time to do the things I love. My spirituality has grown with my new responsibility as relief society 1st counselor. I'm now able to determine my innumerable amount of faults and work on them to become a better person. I have a great relationship with my parents and I'm grateful for all they do for me. I'm developing new talents and embracing my creative side a lot more (in the midst of all the analytical stuff I do at work, I have to be creative in my free time to keep sane and balanced!).

All I'm saying is that I'm incredibly blessed to be where I am now. It is all due to my Heavenly Father, my Savior, my family, and my friends, who have supported me throughout all my endeavors and have brought me to the happy place I am now. So thank you, everyone! And thank you, Father!
