Good Day
Good day to be me.
* Trying local street vendor cuisine (tripe tacos) in Juarez, Mexico…and live to tell about it.
* Day of climbing in Last Chance Canyon. Taking in the winding river canyon dotted with festive fall colors from high atop was only the beginning. The climbing was fabulous…having the entire place to ourselves was nothing short of a commercial.
* An occasional dive into shameless consumerism does have certain therapeutic qualities. A morning of shopping in trendy Montrose…very pleased with my new “Seven” jeans at a steal.
* Running outside in the Michigan winter… a good pick me up to battle the gloomy trapped feeling so ubiquitous to the season.
* Seeing bodies of water…both the stillness and power. So therapeutic and intrinsically calming…must be all those negative ions floating around.
* Taking advantage of a heat wave in late November…finally longboarding again with KT after a three month hiatus. A little chill riding mixed in with a little downhill rush…definitely good for the spirit.
* The Lord never closes a door without opening a window. Three days post email rejection, I finally received an invitation to interview at Wayne State University. I feel a giant relief.
* At Burger King on way to Indianapolis…dressed in western plaid shirt, denim Sherling jacket and Sorel snowboots, I looked around in line and realized that my look blended in all too well with the working class of heartland America… truckers, farmers and Mennonites alike.
* Doing good things not necessarily so that good things will happen to you, but that obstacles in life will resolve themselves and you can live in peace.
