Reflective Times

The Legislature Grounds are only a couple of blocks from my office building - wahoo! So beautiful and serene. I will definitely be spending a lot of time there this summer.

Thursday was particularly warm and sunny out so I decide to take a walk to the grounds. Now, it might have been the beautiful weather, or the fact that spring/summer is finally here, or perhaps I was just in a cheery mood, but I got thinking about my life and how happy I am in every single area of my life.

My career is taking off and I absolutely love my job, the people I work with, and the flexibility and autonomy I have with my work is wonderful. I own my own home, and after struggling for a bit, I am feeling fairly stable and secure in my financial situation. My love life is completely perfect; going strong; and continues to put a big smile on my face every day. I am more dedicated than ever to my family and continue to spend as much time with them as possible. I have great friends who love and support me tremendously and who let me know how fantastic I am doing; while continuing to meet new people and make new friends. I have been extremely active since I moved to Edmonton; joining sports like bowling, slo-pitch and volleyball; getting involved in Corporate Challenge for the 2nd year in a row; and trying new things like kickboxing. Finally, I am feeling stronger, more confident and independent than I ever have. before..which is hard to believe since I already thought I was pretty strong, confident and independent.

So....as I was thinking of all these aspects of my life during my walk, I concluded:
I've never been happier.....I am at my happiest!!

I continued my walk with a big smile on my face and soaked in the beauty around me.

Damnit, I just finished saying you don't blog anymore. I miss you too cool kid and I'm glad you're happy. Though really why you talked about you when you had a perfect opportunity to talk about me I'll never know.

(cough) I believe I did talk about you quite a bit (see previous post). :)

And, no I really don't blog too much anymore. I don't have a lot of time and I really don't have a whole lot of interest. So, once every couple months is probably all your gonna get unless I do something really exciting that I want to share with the world wide web.

That's great! I think achieving that type of happiness is a goal most should strive for. I'm glad you found it.

r:tag - Thanks, I value your comment. Although, I've discovered that my happiness has been a work in progress and will likely continue like that for the rest of my life. Just because I have it now, doesn't mean I will have this state of happiness 10 years from now.
