Come on get happy

I added a new blog label not too long ago: "happy."

I've been happy a lot lately. I don't know when I've felt this good. I'm a long-time chronic depression sufferer, so it's not a trivial thing for me to feel happy.

Leaving the college has been good for me. I'm doing really good work these days, and it's been a very long time since I've been able to say that.

I've reconnected with my church, and that has made me happier. I've been much more involved in church things too. I've renewed old friendships, and I'm forming new ones. I was even invited to play guitar Tuesday nights with a couple of guys from church. It's all good.

Amanda still struggles. I have a lot of fear, frustration, and anger about that. But we muddle along. She and I have a good relationship. She talks to me. She trusts me. We're honest with each other.

Life with Court just keeps getting better, not that it was ever bad. It's just that I know what it is to suffer through a bad marriage. This time around, my marriage is all good. Every bit of it.
