Happiness

So Shelly posted a entry a couple days ago about happy couple people, me being one of them. I have to say that I'm really happy about where I am in my life right now. Not just Will. While that is a wonderful part of my life, I'm starting to be really happy about the direction my life is going in. I finally feel like I'm going somewhere professionally. The process of getting my B.A. felt like something I just had to get through so I could get somewhere else. It was a book and a classroom with no practical experience. Now with my training, I feel like I'm really learning something I will use. Not just on the crisis line, but in my future career. It's frustrating to go to school and come out of it with nothing......yes I have a degree but it qualifies me for nothing. At least when I'm done with my training, I will be certified by the state to do domestic violence counseling (with supervision of course).....thats more than my 4-year degree has given me....besides the ability to go on to the master's program.

So my future is looking fabulous. A great guy and something I feel that I'm really going to enjoy doing.

I do have to point out that my original post was not to do with Tonya. She responded to my original post (which was about another friend of mine).

And just to clarify further - that was merely a venting of how *I* felt about something specific to the context of *my* life. That post was not about my wanting my friends who are happy to be unhappy - that wasn't the point. It was more that I was wondering when it's going to happen to me to be one of the happy couple people.

Maybe it never will - that doesn't mean that I'm not (in general) happy with my life. Nor does it mean that I wish any badness on any of my friends. On the contrary - I love that my friends are happy; it reminds me that happiness comes in many forms and that I have many good things in my life to be thankful for (not the least of which is having good friends).

I'll post more rebuttal in my own blog about this and stop comment spamming you ;-)

It's okay :-) I only mentioned that because while I am a happy couple person, the happiness I was discussing in my entry had to do with my professional future and not with the couple aspect of my life.
