Shine On

I came back just the other day from one of the most amazing weekends I've had in awhile, something filled with more spontaneous actions and ups and downs than I've let myself get involved in, and I actually think I came back better for it. It's a little bit amazing what going out and trying new things can do for a person's mindset. I was used to staying inside and keeping to myself, not really going out and putting myself into situations with groups of people, and this weekend was something completely out of my comfort zone. I owe a lot to Candice for being so fantastic from the beginning until the end. She's a great friend, and even though there are ups and downs we've just known each other too long to cut each other much slack. She isn't afraid to tell me when she thinks I'm being one way, I'm not afraid to counter her, etc. etc. and still we've just known each other for too long and been through too much to not work through it together. It's comforting to have a friend like that.

I'm not sure what I'll do today. I'm not much for going out and delving into the world of green, but St. Patrick's is today and there's going to be a good deal of partying going on in there today. I'll probably take the less than exciting take on the day and keep it all close to home, but I'm still feeling pretty good. It's weird and I know this post is disjointed, but I'm actually feeling better about things than I have in a long time.
