I think that it's important to take note of the different emotional phases we go through. This week was not one of the better weeks I've had, but now, it's the end of the week/beginning of next week and I feel good. I feel happy and peaceful and I like that.
Some people may view the fact that everything has to end as a bad thing, but to me it's one of the beauties of life. Yes, this does mean that good things have to end, but it also gives hope in the 'slough of despond' times. Whenever I'm on a flight where the passengers are angry, I feel sick, the weather is rotten, we're delayed.. whatever the situation, it's really nice to be able to say, yes, like everything else in life, this flight must come to an end as well. We have to land eventually. Or, I have to feel better eventually. I can't imagine ever feeling so sad with my life that I would give up hope that the bad times would end and it would get better. I was thinking yesterday how when it rains it pours. I went through a lot this week, not only with my bag being stolen, dealing with the loss, recovering what I could, letting go of what I couldnt', but some other personal stuff I was dealing with. But now, I've survived, just like always, and I'm going to be fine.
The rain is falling outside and it sounds beautiful. I'm turning 25 in 2 days and I'm excited. Some people worry about turning 25 because they feel they're getting old, but I feel like I'm really starting to get to the good part of life. I can now do everything any other adult can do, except get the senior citizen's discount on Wednesday (I'm not ready for that one). I could do everything before but I'm just talking about insurance going down and being able to rent cars without paying extra. I'm excited that God has allowed me so many wonderful years. I have great friends and a wonderful family and the future is bright.

sunshine, blue skies are coming my way
I haven't blogged in quite a while. I randomly blog elsewhere in a less public place. If you're interested, and special, maybe I'll tell you where.
I decided that since I'm having a hide-in-your-hoodie day I'd go to my mental file boxes and dig through the happy memories files. The ones you pull out when the sky is gray, the leaves are soggy on the ground, toes are frozen, and there isn't a flower to be seen.
Tanya and I have been sitting here watching Return of the King. I like it but it really isn't doing anything to help my mood. The frosty she just brought me from Wendy's does help though. What a great friend/roommate!!
As I sit and think of times when it feels like all the world is happy and life couldnt' be any better they seem to have some common chararcteristics.. music - often loud, but sometimes mellow, fast cars, wind, blue skies, warm weather.. might as well throw in a beach while we're at it.
The night before last, after I got off work, my flight bag got stolen out of my car. I hate thieves. Twice I've been robbed and neither time did they get anything of real value. Always just stuff that meant a lot to me or that was difficult/impossible to replace. This time it was my company id, airport badge, uniform and wings, PASSPORT, drivers license, debit and credit cards, $30, flight attendant manual, knitting needles and scarf I was making for my mom, favorite tweezers (they kept my eyebrows pretty!!), my planner (the only way I ever remember anything), and various toiletries, etc... It's been a huge pain but ya, life goes on. It always does. I had to call out on my trip yesterday, which sucks, and I'm not sure how that will pan out cause I'm still on probation (had 7 days left), but everything always works out in the end. On the bright side, I had forgotten to bring my glasses so they're safe and sound and the picture on my passport was really awful.
That 70s show is a little less depressing than Return of the King. Kelso is shockingly stupid. It's quite humorous. I'm going to find something to eat.
