You have been weighed...

It's yet another Sunday. The week has come and gone. It's been a busy week. It's been a long week. It's been a very good week. It's had its ups and downs, that's for sure. Two different mornings I had to chase after a bus. I got lost in the Church Office Building and had to be escorted to where I really should have been. I've had to ask myself the question, "How do I ask forgiveness of someone when I'm not sure what I've done wrong?" And I still have not found an answer. I had one very "meh" day full of insecurities and things going wrong... the day when you just need a hug. Luckily, I got that hug, accompanied by unknowing reassurances and a most exciting game of Super Mario Bros. 3. Who knew that reliving such a pastime could bring such gleefulness? Especially when the other player is willing to play, knowing that he will lose. But, I guess it's not really a competition in Mario, is it? It's more about working together to fight the angry sun and spiky backed thingy-ma-jigs and monstrous fish that want to eat you for dinner. I started a new job this week; I even got put in charge of a new project. It's weird going to a new job and training other people that have worked there for years. But, I also get my turn of being trained on new things, too. I made the most delectable dessert this week. Having only four people eating it, it lasted for quite awhile. I'm ok with that. I've had long phone conversations with many members of my family and a few old friends. My fridge is covered in wedding announcements of good friends. It must be summer—we're seeing the results of Spring twitterpation. (Firefox doesn't think I spelled that right. It recommended extirpation. What in the world is extirpation?? Hmm... "Loss of a species from an island or region, with one or more populations surviving elsewhere." I suppose it fits in a very odd sort of way. hehe.) I got to go star-gazing last night. There's a meteor shower this weekend. It's going on for the next two nights. Y'all should go watch. There are some amazing shooting stars—perfect to wish on. My wish has come true, perhaps yours will, too. Go try it. You won't regret it. Even if your wish doesn't come true, you'll still see some amazing shooting stars. After most everyone had left, I saw one star that shot across the entire sky. I had time to see it, excitedly point at it, and hear, "Wow. Wow. Wow." before it finally disappeared. Now that is a long meteor.

Overall, the good has far outweighed the bad. I guess that's what determines a good life. Not that there is no bad—there's bound to be—but that the good outweighs the bad.

Thank you everyone who contributed to the good. You know who you are. I can't thank you enough.

I work in the COB! If you decide you need friends on the 9th floor you are always welcome up (or down, I guess...whatever floor you're on). I work with lots of very cool girls. Also we often have candy, lol.

LOL! It is Bridget Layton. We've lived across the street from each other since possibly forever. And I don't have to bribe you to figure out your identity. I was capable of that all on my own because, well, I'm amazing. However, if you still want candy you're welcome to it. Today I have Snickers, Fruit Leather and, I kid you not, Fruit Smiles (the fruit snacks from Walmart. Happy times).
