I Am Truly Living

I had an evaluation interview with my supervisor this morning. These evaluations happen near the end of every four months.

I was involved in an a cappella performance, as well as a video recording session of our songs after the performance. There were some challenges with the sound system and our own intonation, but everything went really well.

Each of these events represents a current aspect of my life (work, music club). In each event, I felt a small sense of happy reflection. I've been involved with both of these things for a couple years now, and I felt very happy and fulfilled. I felt valued and appreciated as an employee, with all the things I've learned and accomplished. I felt great satisfaction in laughing and singing with a cappella club people I now consider to be friends.

Add another intense game of water basketball in the evening, and I think you've got a day lived to the fullest. What I am truly grateful for today is that not only have I had a successful and fulfilling day, I had experiences that helped me see that I've been having a successful and fulfilling time as a college student. Looking back on my work, my music club involvement, my friendships, I have no lasting regrets, only lasting gratitude. I am truly living a good, happy life. It doesn't always look happy to me when I look at some moment or some hour or some day in isolation. But, when I look at the results of months and years, I am joyful and grateful. :)
