I'm a worrier by nature. I worry about me. I worry about you. I worry about things over which I have no control. I just worry. And while I don't expect that to change any time soon, I've lately begun to feel something else.
I've always tried to believe that everything happens for a reason. Even though I would keep saying it to myself and to others, it was hard to fully wrap my head and heart around. But this last week I've really started to truly believe in it.
Oh, I can still feel all the worries I have about everything under the sun, and if I tried they would be more than willing to come to the surface. But on top of all that I can feel a layer of calm buffering me from the bulk of all that worry. I know that there's a reason for everything, bad and good. Yes, I'm still concerned with finances, school, job, people, etc. But at the end of the day everything will be ok.
So for the last week I've been driving around Raleigh with the sunroof open, the windows down, the radio up, and my hair blowing in the wind. Because I know that ultimately life is good :-)
