Awesome day, full of blessings!!

Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, for His love endures forever!!
*As a side note..  I never know whether the response ought to be "for His love endures forever" or if it ought to be "for His mercy endures forever."  Different translations translate it differently.  And my s/d always ends Confession by saying "Give thanks to the Lord for He is good" and I know my response is supposed to be one of those two... but I don't know which one!!  Mercy makes more sense in the confessional... but I've seen the love translation more often.

Today was a very blessed day!

-I had spiritual direction in the morning and it was very fruitful, even though it was in some ways a very strange meeting...

-I earned a much higher grade than I expected on a paper that I thought was very poorly written.

-I got an Easter package from my mom (yes, we celebrate(d) secular Easter growing up... had no idea what it meant, of course) that had lots of candy, a hand written note, and a pair of flip-flops!!

-I got a letter from my Kindergarten teacher!!!!!!!  This just made my day!!!!!!!  I can't wait to write her back!!  We haven't corresponded in...  well, at least 8 or 9 years, and I haven't seen her in probably about 13 or 14.

-I got to go to the Extraordinary Form today!!!  They celebrated it on campus!!!  And by 'they' I mean the seminary.  It was soooo beautiful!!!  Ah!!!!  Love it.

-I got to have dinner with my best friend, which is of course always a blessing.

-And despite all of the crazy things going on, my stress level is not hitting the roof because God's grace is super awesome.

So yeah.  Good stuff!  Loving life!
