A "GOOD FEELING"

It happens once in a while, where every hot blooded human is struck with an unexpected “good feeling.” There is not direct definition of a “good feeling” and therefore, I will describe it for you.

LITTY'S DEFINITION:

A good feeling is an emotion that is brought on by a thought or a moment from one’s life. One can think about it, analyze it, and then if it is a fond recalling of moments, then it results in a demure side smirk smile, which is unnoticeable to any passerby. A true “good feeling” is quiet, and modest…if you are overly excited…then I think that might be a “great feeling!” Haha…

LITTY'S "GOOD" FEELING" EXPERIENCE:

I was walking up a bustling 12th street in the middle of Temple University, Philadelphia. Through my over-sized charmingly named “bumblebee” sunglasses, I glanced over to Anderson Strip (an outside eatery at Temple), and noticed it was just about dinner time.

Jeezz….I’m old! I thought

I didn’t recognize a single person out of the possible 100 who were waiting, and eating on their food. I thought about how lucky these freshmen are to have a “fresh” start to their college degrees. To have four years to decide on whom they’d want to become before being thrown out into the real world.

  • I thought about how much I struggled with a major…
  • How much I messed up…
  • How I was so indecisive…
  • All this, before I heard the still voice of the Lord
  • I remembered how much I HATED BIOLOGY…
  • How I was so persistent to stay in there…
  • How I felt so trapped…How the Lord LITERALLY had to drag me out…

Thoughts were swarming all around inside, while I composed a steady walk, behind huge shaded glasses, up a never ending 12th street. Crossing the street I glanced, in passing, to my left at the Bio Life Building. Suddenly, everything seemed to travel in slow motion…

“My goodness, I don’t have to go in there anymore,” I thought to myself. “I’m free…I’m free…I never have to look at another chromosome, bacteria, plant chlorophyll, or stupid dead pig and identify its crappy, slimy duodenum!”

I quickly turned to the front with my unchanged, steady pace, and let out a sigh of relief. I bowed my head slightly to the ground, looked at the floor, and gave a small unknowing side smirk, which I caught about 5 seconds later.

“God is so good to me,” I thought.

And All I could Whisper was, "I love you...


ANOTHER GOOD FEELING...
