"There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered." -Nelson Mandela

I feel good today.

Not fine, not okay, not good... considering.

For the first time in 5 months, I have felt GOOD for the entire day. I had energy all day. I accomplished a lot at school. I (unexpectedly) had to tutor after school. I went to the gym and ran 2 miles. I even still had energy to go to Jaclyn's house and get caught up on Weeds. I'm not just still awake. I STILL FEEL GOOD!

Hence the title of my bog today. It has always been one of my favorite quotes, because it continually has a different meaning for me. Today it means that I can find joy in what used to be normal. A day that used to make me smile, now makes me cry. Don't worry! They're good tears- happy, thankful, humble, lessons-learned-the-hard-way, faith-sustaining tears. Life is good.

Don't take your health for granted. Live life to the fullest. Don't sit back and let life happen to you; make it happen! There are a lot more cliché's that are appropriate, but I don't want to push my luck. I know that If my eyeballs don't see the back of my eye-sockets sometimes in the nines, tomorrow might not be as great as today.

Today was a good day.
