Life is good. Really, really good.

If I seem giddier than usual these days, it’s not just because I’m enjoying being back in Chicago. (Though I am.)

Today’s not been unusual, and it’s gone like this:

• Wake up at five. Brew excellent coffee in a french press. Make eggs with salame and four cheeses, and granola with fresh cut strawberries and bananas and almond milk.
• Sit-ups, push-ups, and some curls in the gym. Sorry if that sounds bro-ish, but it makes me feel great, so deal.
• See fiancée off to work, do dishes, shower at leisure.
• Go back to bed for a while.
• Restring a guitar. Play it for a few hours.
• Walk around my favorite place on the planet in the sun.
• Journal. Better stuff than usual.
• Get some good news on the job front.
• Meet fiancée after work. This is always really exciting, like we’ve been together a week instead of five years.
• Get an unexpected call from a job prospect I didn’t know existed. Whoa.
• Band practice.
• Dinner and a couple glasses of wine.
• Early to bed and do it all over.

I’m not gloating, I’m just counting my blessings. Sincere thanks to everyone who has helped me and led me here. I still am and always will be an Ohio boy from Akron, and I didn’t do much to earn this.
