happiness is circumstantial. joy is not.

I woke up and did not want to get out of bed. but i was going to church so it was ok. i missed church because of the joint service at another location. we laughed about it, and sang in the parking lot. and had breakfast together instead. all the breakfast hurt my stomach. so we walked and took pictures by broken things. showing the beauty in distress. we came back... i had to write my senior thesis. alone. but took a break for coffee anyways. my car was moved from the weekend parking lot for me. My laundry was done for me. my room was cleaned for me. and i wrote. and wrote. and wrote. I received a beautiful letter. and wrote and wrote and wrote. i "finished" at least the best i can. for today. two weeks from now my senior thesis will be over and turned in. for forever and ever. my brain is fried. and my heart is full. hugs all around. today was a good day.
