Believe it or not there are days when I keep my eyes on the sidewalk, avoid eye contact, and just try my hardest to finish classes so I can become reacquainted with my bed and Netflix. Sometimes, even an extrovert doesn't want to see anyone they know.
But today was not one of those days.
I walked around this Liberty's campus with a smile on my face. I ran into some of my favorite people, felt pretty, and had an interview for an internship I want for over the summer.
Even with all the good things that happened today, my favorite part was that I got to wear a light jacket.To many, wearing a light jacket might not be a big deal, but I really enjoy it.
You only get to wear a light jacket for about 4 weeks the entire year, before it gets too cold or hot to wear it.
So I was really excited when it was perfect weather for it. The wind was blowing just a little, but my jacket was warm enough to keep the chill out.
I could have chosen to focus on the homework I had, the rush I was in to get to class, the weird look some girl gave me, or any of the little things that could distract me from the beauty around me.
I didn't, I chose to focus on the light jacket I got to wear and the beautiful scenery I got to see on my walk home.
But it's not really about the jacket, is it?
I was smiling because it was beautiful out.
I was smiling because I knew the Lord was smiling on me.
I was smiling because I have been so blessed.
Today, I chose joy.
