Although 2009 didn’t get off to a very good start for me, that has all changed during the last month or so. If you are wondering why I am so much more happy now, the first reason has to do with the great weather that has arrived. For as long as I can remember, I have always liked Spring, and this year has gone the same way.

Now, the improvement in the weather is not the only reason I’m feeling good. To find out why else I’m doing so well, let’s go back to two things that happened last week. When last week finally arrived, I could barely contain my excitement about what I was going to do. For as long as I can remember, I have always thought that The Academy Is is amazing, and seeing them live just made me like them even more. Best of all, The Academy Is played Slow Down, which is an amazing song that I have loved since the first time that I heard it played.

Nothing could top watching The Academy Is rock out on the stage, but the other thing that happened came in as a close second. While most of my attention is usually focused on other people, I made an exception this time around. After a day of shopping at a variety of places in my city, I ended up buying a piece of body jewelry just for myself. While my piece of body jewelry wasn’t cheap, I know that it’s something that’s going to continue to make me happy for a long time to come. I know that I will always face struggles in life, but I also know that there are a lot of good things that I have to look forward to.
