March Madness

Today was a good day. March Madness started. I stopped by Gotee to see how the final four were. Grabbed coffee (a killer Caramel Butter flavor) at Merridee’s with Sara and Condo. Had a really cool convo with Sara. Stopped by Toby’s studio and got some hang time with Gabe. I love that dude. Funniest guy I know. I then ended up joining some pick up 3-on-3 basketball on Toby’s new home court with Steve Gee, Dan Pits, Dave Mullen, Toby’s nephew and of course T-Mac himself. I felt alive playing. Though I seemed to be a solid second slow on defense, rebounding, and passing. But I did end up finding my shot after the first game. It just felt good to be doing something physical and specifically playing basketball. Whenever I was going through junk when I was younger I always had the hoop in our driveway to take it out on. I also got to see Todd Collins (who had some nice words about my shooting) and Chad Hines as well. Oh yeah, Toby & the fam have a killer labradoodle. I then headed over to JR’s studio to watch LOST. It was a great episode. Bummer that there won’t be another new episode for a month, but at least it’s coming back and I’m not stuck with only 8 episodes of this new season. I then got confirmation that a very important meeting is set for Friday next week. I could use all of your prayers as I will need His strength, His eyes, and His love for it. In one way, it could be the end of one aspect of the crisis in my life. And lastly, got the final word that Monday will be first day back in the work force. I will be joining Zambooie.com and working with good friends Bruce Fitzhugh and Bill Power. I am excited and scared at the same time about this new chapter.  I am thankful beyond words for the opportunity. Looks like I only lost 4 games today in MM after day one so I’m 12 for 16. 

In all, it was a good day.

Oh yeah, I had a great time with Maj yesterday. That guy has such a gentle spirit. He encouraged me in a way that I desperately needed. Especially from someone who is not close to my situation and only has to go off of how he has seen me respond. Some of the words he used to describe my response in order to encourage me was extremely uplifting because of how he said it, the words and analogies he used, and how he said my response has encouraged him. I only wish my beloved and a few others felt the same way. I know I have made mistakes throughout this season but I really have tried my hardest to do the right thing in all situations. I just want to please Him.
