I love my life because...

Sunday

People have been asking me how my transition has been since my return from Costa Rica two months ago. My dad summed it up pretty well: "Take a look at what happened to the 'Why I love my life' blog." Time here happens so fast -- I have zero time to slow down, breathe, and appreciate life's little miracles. I've forgotten all the reasons why I love my life.

Now it's time to remember.
