Life Is Good

At our Baptism party, yesterday, I was talking to a family friend about where life takes us. She joked that she hasn't figured out what she wants to be when she grows up, and asked me how I thought my life turned out, compared to my expectations from youth. As if I were participating in one of the word-association exercises, my immediate response was: Better! I hadn't even thought about it. That was the first, instinctive, response I had to that question. I just thought that was neat.
