Moment of happiness

I love spring break. Today, I slept until 11:33, watched Gilmore Girls while drinking coffee, made super chocolaty chip scones and thoroughly cleaned mine and my mom's cars. It's times like this when I have nothing pressing that needs to get done that I get a lot of thinking done. Here are some thoughts.

Moment of Happiness

Sometimes, there are those sudden moments of complete happiness that spring upon me from out of no where. Right now is one of those moments. Nothing extremely significant or exciting has occurred today, it has been mostly a day of laziness: sleeping late and doing nothing productive. In these random happy moments there are a few things I want to do and yet I do not know which I want to do most:
 
   Shout to God in joy with a giant smile stretched across my mouth
   Stare up at the stars in awe and in wonder, with no particular thoughts to fill my mind
   Make coffee (after all, that is always an excellent solution to any feeling)
   Write a song. Or write a million songs that will all turn out to be the best ever (although most songs I ever write turn out horribly with no music to accompany them, so I typically do not go this route)
   Just dance (no, not the Lady Gaga song) whether to music or not, I just want to let it all go and dance what I feel for once

And yet none of those actions seem to express the immenseness of this feeling of joy. The best part about it, however, is that it has no apparent cause. It is a feeling of utter freedom and yet one of a sense that I belong to something perfectly. One that I am loved; one that I am making a difference; one that I am fulfilling my purpose, even if I do not always know clearly everything that purpose includes. It is a feeling that I am exactly where I need to be, doing exactly what I need to be doing, and heading to exactly where I need to go. This moment of happiness is one of the best feelings in the entire world.
