New Beginnings

It begins tomorrow.  New beginnings.

Back to the grind.  It’s been nice to be on a break.  It was about a week and a half long but has surprisingly felt quite long.  Almost like I don’t know what it feels like to be back in the grind.  I guess that means it was a good and much needed break.

New beginnings.  I think I should feel excited and super happy, but in fact, I am a bit nervous.  New is exciting yet scary all at the same time.  You know me…scared of everything.  Yup.

New people.  New tasks.  New environment.  New grind.

Am I capable?  Will I like the people?  Will the people like me?  Will the environment suit me?  Will I be able to perform and deliver?

I want to really enjoy it.  I want it to last longer than the honeymoon stage.  I want it to last.  I want to be able to rave about it.  I want to be happy.  I want to have good relationships.  I want to enjoy what I do.  I want to have fun.

I don’t want drama, egos, or politics.

I also want to be a light.  I want to be able to show my faith through action.  God is putting me for a reason and I know it’s more than an answered prayer for escape.  He places people in certain places for His purpose.

So while I’m nervous, I will take tomorrow in stride.

Cheers to new beginnings.  :)

100 Free Throws

Up in Folsom visiting D&J.  D and I decided to bike to the Folsom sports complex to shoot some hoops.  I love the sports complex, it’s so cool.  I wish we had something like that in SD, maybe we do.  It’s got two nice indoor courts, an indoor soccer field, a small indoor batting cage, and maybe 5-6 ping pong tables.

Anyway, since I’m injured and trying to not do any running, I said we could go and play standing basketball aka play HORSE and shoot free throws.  We decided to shoot 100 free throws and see our percentage.

Dang, we both shot pretty badly.  I was especially bad considering I play basketball regularly.

D got 57/100 and I got 62/100.  My goal is to be 80/100.  Good thing we weren’t playing for push ups.  =P  I want to do it again – it’s hard to find a free indoor court.
