Perfect is a matter of perspective.

This week was really great! I am officially settled in my new place, everything is organized and decorated-things really have fallen into place!

I am really aware of how blessed I am lately. So many times, it's really easy to fall into a negative way of thinking-where all I do is dwell on the things in my life I wish were different. Then I realize-those situations and challenges I face are what make me who I am. I can either be negative, or positive-it's always a neutral situation. It's also really cool how literally EVERYTHING works itself out. You can agree or disagee, but it's true. Now I won't debate that sometimes things don't work the way we think they should, but I am starting to really believe that's a good thing. I look back over the past few years at all the things I had worked out and planned in my mind. I won't get into the gorey details, but I can honestly say that I am so glad that my life did not go the way I had in mind.

Life will never be "perfect" but I think life can be amazing. Right now, life really is great. And it's not great in any of the ways I imagined it would be when I was younger-which proves that things can still be good, even when they aren't what we concoct on our own.
