I'm feeling lucky.

I'd like to take this time to celebrate 100 posts! That's exactly 100 internet-bound headed rantings only a heartbeat from my lips. One full hundred wordy paragraphs knee-deep in emotions or motivations. I'd also like to thank the academy.

Moving on. I'm feeling lucky. Not just because I promised Eric that that phrase would be the title of my next blog post, but because it's absurdly true. I'm sure we've all closed our eyes and lived in our own mind's truths when things get rough, but there's a huge difference between when I used to do that and what's going on now.

Oh, I still close my eyes once in a while, purely out of habit. The difference now is that I'll close my eyes and escape to my fantasies, and when I open them again... I'm there. I've got an amazing man on my arm (can't emphasize that enough), a job where I feel motivated and involved, possibilities seeping from my pores, and happiness to spare. My mood is steadily uplifting as I feel more and more connected to my life and the world around me.

I know what I want to do, and I know where to start to do it. I want to begin learning to dance, so I've been studying moves and getting fit. I want to learn japanese, so I've found Rosetta Stone and a few friends to learn with me. I want to be successful in school, so I'm applying myself in lots of different aspects.

I'm feeling lucky because I can do these things. I'm feeling lucky because I know I have the willpower to go places. And I'm feeling lucky because he's gorgeous, witty, charming, smart... And perfect. :)
