one day at a time

last book i've read: something lying around Rachel and Josh's house
currently caressing my ears: their humming computer
general mood: very jovial

And I wish I didn't have to leave. I have adored my weekend getaway to Bloomington, IN. I was welcomed into my friends' Rachel and Josh's home and had the most amazing time walking the streets of Bloomington, eating delicious food, running into their fantastic friends, and just basking in one another's company. I saw where Josh proposed, I admire the house and home they've created together, and their love is abundant. Plus this town just friggin rocks. Quite literally, we saw Feist at the UI auditorium and it's plain to see this town has a bustling music scene. I'm hoping I can bring Andy with me in the future.

Rachel reminded me of things I'd known but ignored and forgotten: that I just need to relax and take things one day at a time. I'm hoping I can truly practice that soon, since lately I get so wrapped up in thoughts about the future and what's to come, and my past which I feel I've messed up, hoping I can make things right again. It's okay not to have all the answers, they will reveal themselves. It's okay to have questions, it will all work out. I just gotta stop letting my youthful indecision wrack my brains and mess up my life.

Oh life!
