Happy.

So I'm going to try something new: writing when life is going well. Maybe I'll start off by bragging about the coolest group of friends I've had in awhile. There’s eleven of us, and we call ourselves the “crew” or “squad”. Very original, I know. Each person in our group has something uniquely amazing that contributes to the big group of us. Some of them are funny and good at telling jokes, others are great at having deep conversations with you, and some of them know how to make anyone smile. Lots of them, however, have all of these qualities. Overall- most of them love Jesus. This constitutes to a very happy Emma and someone who enjoys what's going on around her. I didn't realize how much of an impact these people would make on my life, but honestly- it's one of the best groups I've had the blessing to be a part of.

Happiness; the whole consept used to scare me honestly. I've gotten used to it now though, this settling fact that I'm enjoying my life and the people in it. Someone that I care about, from our crew, once told me "...think about how it's good now and things are different and that's why you're happy." And honestly, the've got a point. I don't think I'd ever looked at life that way, considering i'm a pessimist. Things might be different for me, but isn't that a good thing? I was so full of the unhappiness in the past, resulting in it swallowing me up that I forgot to see that when things change, it's sometimes good. Anyways, this is a new thing. There are no lessons learned, or any amazing revelations revealed today, because right now I'm...Happy:)

Things I'm thankful for:
1. Family dinners
2. squad/ crew members
3. Grandparents
4. good music
5. the window that opens when doors close
6. (is putting "food" on here terrible? I enjoy eating, sorry)
7. friends 200 miles away
8. friends 900+ miles away


Sidenote: Has anyone seen Spectre yet? Also, listen to the song "Great Are You Lord" by All Sons & Daughters. I love it super much.
