Creativity in Everyday Life.

I am feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment. This sense of; how do I put it? Tiredness. I haven't felt this way since my four a.m. study sessions during finals week. It's not so much that my body is tired. It is more of a mental exhaustion. I feel like I have seen, done, and felt so much in the past week. I just need a break, you know?

A week ago today, my dad called me telling me that my dog had cancer and that he was going to be put down. The next day, I spend the day with my dog, in addition to doing several loads of laundry and watching my little brothers and sister bawl their eyes out after hearing the news. The next day, I drove four hours and went swimming with a family of nine kids. That night, we played lots of games filled with laughter, and didn't fall asleep until late. Continuing on, the next day was filled with hiking, river swimming, and small talk at a graduation party. On Saturday, I drove a few hours into Richmond with two friends, and let's just say my driving was not the best. Not to mention I was a little bummed that I could not see all my friends that day. Saturday night, we walked around int he most beautiful park you could ever imagine; in the rain. And on Sunday, I got up early, went to assembly, finally sat next to my wonderful boyfriend at assembly, had a lovely lunch with his family, and spend the rest of the day just being happy. I finally drove home, alone, on Monday morning, sleep deprived considering I spend the night before watching SNL reruns on the laptop and did not want to fall asleep. My week closed with a shift a work, and let's just say I was not happy about it.

Happiness. Sadness. Tired. In awe. Content. Excited. Relaxed. I felt it all. In the matter of five days, I felt it all. Now I am just sitting here, a few days later, questioning myself and whether or not it all really happened.

Life kind of amazes me sometimes.

And I thank God for that everyday.
If every day of mine was plain and boring, I think I would be upset with my life. I like the fact that every day of mine is completely different than the last.

Yesterday I slept and relaxed. Today I jammed out while riding down Route One with a few of my closest friends.

Thank you God. For showing me your love by applying your creativity in my everyday life.
