Day Thirty-Three
There were just a lot of little moments that stand out.
Though I'm naturally an introvert, I've become an extrovert. I love community and one-on-ones. I am beyond grateful for my friends, past and present. As a recovering shy person ;) I sometimes get very shy about random things. Throughout my grade school years, I was super shy and insecure about socializing. I became much better in college, but struggled there at times. I think I've started to blossom here in Florida with the wonderful people I've met. Having started out knowing NO ONE my age in Fort Lauderdale, it was sometimes awkward and nerve-wracking to get to know people. There's still a shy person inside me, though people laugh at me when I tell them I'm a shy person. All I know is that whenever my friends and acquaintances invite me places, it touches my heart everytime. My friend Andrea is such a person, who invited me to go out with her friends tomorrow for St. Paddy's Day. (I've never ever celebrated it before, so this will be a fun first-time experience.)
I also had a random but fun moment when on facebook a Rick Smith commented on something I wrote on Andrea's wall. I have an Uncle Rick from Peoria, IL and it made me instantly like this Rick character, though I haven't ever met him in person. LOL and we both are self-proclaimed weirdies who hit it off on facebook. Yes, I know, I've reached the ultimate level of geekiness. The best part? He's from Urbana, IL!!!!! I got soooo excited and posted my excited reaction on his facebook wall. LOL oh life. I have a feeling we're going to be good friends. Just sayin...
One of the reasons I love Tuesdays is that I have Bible study group then and I enjoy everyone who is part of that community. There's something so solid about a coed group of people who love God and each other. I always look forward to prayer time and find comfort in the fact that my needs and wants are prayed over.
Lastly, I have a headache. The reason this falls into the good-things category is that my dad, who is really good at massages, gave me one while my Mom rubbed my head with her motherly instincts. My dad is aware that headaches like what I have come from more than around my temples. So he found the pressure points where my pain was stemming from and helped ease it out with his magical masseuse arms. It's still there, but I'm much more relaxed. Best father in the world!
Yay for days off!! I'm so glad I get to sleep in tomorrow!
Laurs, out.
