Positive...

Whenever shit hits the fan in my life, I try to focus on any and all positive aspects of my current situation.  Here are a few worth mentioning:

1.  I'm currently in my happy place:  Iowa City, IA.

2.  Fireflies and SO MUCH GREEN.  Green trees, green fields, green is everywhere.

3.  I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  For a long long time I worked at jobs outside of my area of interest.  And then I just stopped working altogether and almost hit rock bottom with my lack of funds.  I finally landed a job that will both pay me AND advance my career.  What a concept!

4.  I have the most amazing roommates in Denver.  The house feels really balanced and positive and I feel quite fortunate to have that kind of energy to go back to.

5.  New friends and old friends.  I met some awesome people last night in addition to seeing a lot of old pals from Iowa City.  Some highlights:  Moscow Mule at Quinton's, gambling (haha, what!?) at the Mill, and DAS BOOT at the Blue Moose.  I had no idea these things were real:

6.  One other thing:  My parents are the most supportive people I've ever met.

BYE!!!
