Bliss is found in

. . .a gloomy morning cuddled up in a blanket, reading my Bible, drinking green tea and eating peanut butter oatmeal.

. . .laying in bed, watching the light creep with increasingly intensity into your room and knowing that you have a few more minutes to lie there.

. . .a cup of potato soup and a whole wheat baguette from Panera, eaten on the way to meet with a group of fellow students.

. . .that meeting with fellow grad students.

. . .a hot shower after an intense run.

. . .finding a sewing table.

. . .giving up on dressing up for class. Jeans and a sweatshirt=good feeling.

. . .driving to and from school with the roommate.

. . .having a prayer day at school.

. . .truth.

. . .eating a piece of maple pumpkin cheesecake (yes, it's as good as it sounds) with the roommate.

. . .sitting in a rocking chair on a screened in porch, discussing theology with other grad students and sniffing the rain-fresh air.

. . .finding pumpkin spice creamer.

. . .a new season of Psych.

. . .clean yellow sheets.

. . .hope.

It's been a good 24 hours. Also, please note how much of a shameless foodie I am.

What? Those yellow sheets have never been clean! Except for that one time I peeled them off your bed after learning they hadn't been washed in three months.
