Life's Good

Life has been treating me well lately and I sure am enjoying it. Here's why:

--I talked with Marissa last night for a good while and we are going to Broadway Joe's on saturday to have coffee. I must say, I am pretty excited... especially since I haven't seen in her such a long time.

--This week, although I have a serious lack of motivation, class has been pretty interesting. I haven't caught myself dozing off in accounting or thinking about a conspiracy to make my religion teacher stop talking - one class he said 'um' 55 times in a 5 minute period...

-- In my Information Technology class I tonight we had a test over excel, which is notorious for failing grades. I, however, feel that I did really well and finished earlier than most people in my class. I couldn't help but notice the frustrated expressions on my classmates faces as I left.

--I'm going home tomorrow night to see my friends and family, but most importantly Kameron -aka Kam Man. I really do miss the little guy. Whenever I call home I always ask to talk to him and i love to hear the excitement in his voice as he says "Hi Zach!" I ask him some simple questions... what he's doing, what he ate for lunch and dinner, how his little 'brudder' (brother) is and my favorite part of the conversation comes at the end. After I tell him I love him, and he I, he hands the phone back to mom - his grandma- and says "It's ZACH!" ... I can just see his smile and excitement as he hands the phone back... and I love hearing the sound of him running to the door with a big smile to greet me as I come home. He is the little brother I never had but always wanted . . . :)

--I have pretty damn good friends... and a kickass family.

-- The bucks pulled through and beat the Vols 85-84. You bet I'll be watchin' them play Memphis on Saturday.

----I think it's really improtant for us to try and focus on the good things in life. Personally, I tend to spend a little too much time thinking about the bad things that I don't give much thought to the good things. Recent family events has shed light and made me realize that people make mistakes, no one is perfect, everyone deserves to be loved ...and God is GREAT! By realizing these things hopefully we are better able to focus on the good things instead of the bad ...and for the first time in a very long time I can honestly say . . . life's good!
