I remembered tonight how much I enjoyed watching basketball. Remember the things you really loved doing, before life got busy? I was honored to attend teacher appreciation night at the request of a student that had selected me as a teacher that influenced him. I intended to stay just half the game and watch him play, then to get home and to bed early. As the game began, my students played his heart out, our team played hard and it was a one point game. I found I could not leave and all of a sudden, the simple enjoyment of sitting (which is very hard for me to do) and watching a basketball game came back to me. I did not want to be anywhere else, but sitting and cheering on our school team.I can't remember doing that since I was a college student at KU.
Isn't it funny, how as we grow up, life takes us over? It is easy to forget those simple pleasures we used to make time to do. I encourage you to do one thing you used to love this week. Enjoy the simplicity of life and smile while doing it!
