For no particular reason
I was really happy today. I still am, and for no particular reason.
I'm just happy. I can't explain why. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I'm getting excited for the holidays. Maybe it's because I haven't had much sleep lately. Maybe it's because it's hard to not be happy when you've been blessed as much as I have in my life.
I really don't know.
Maybe part of it is starting to be comfortable with my job. Some of the bigger, more complicated tasks I've done a time or two. I think that always helps. Some of the stuff I do can be a little intimidating. I get to wear a hard hat for some of it, because we have to use a crane to lift the flight controls into place. I'm getting the hang of keeping the pieces from swinging back and forth when they're on the hoist. I can tell you though, that if most people saw what holds airplanes together, they'd take a train instead. It's neat to me and I really enjoy my job.
Maybe it's having just a bit of breathing room in the budget for the next month or so. That takes a huge load off my mind. We're down to pretty much my income these days and that's a bit of a challenge.
Maybe it's partly because the work has started in the basement. I have to mail another check for what should be the last of the damage to the mortgage company tomorrow. They should be sending 1/3 of the last one out to the contractor and I tomorrow. I'll still have to get the 1/3 of this last one for him, too, but I think that's going to not be a problem now that the ball is rolling.
It's nice to have these things not hanging over my head.
Whatever the reasons, I just know that there is peace and it feels unbelievably good.
And I'm so grateful to God for it.
