Few things make me smile as much as a lazy Sunday, complete with a either a baseball game or a nascar race with Dan. Well... today I got a little bit of everything I love and more. Friday afternoon after a grueling week and an ungodly number items on my "to-do" list... I found myself holding four tickets to today's Angels game (thanks Boss!!). Small gesture, but the hint was noted... I needed a break. A quick call to Dan, who agreed to forgo his usual Sunday of riding and working the horses & Miss Jenna-bug cleared her schedule of grading papers... and we were all set. We listened to the race on the radio as we headed down the 91 and educated Jen on the finer details of the great sport of NASCAR. And we spent the afternoon watching a great game (Go Angels!) and laughing a lot. And for a minute... I forgot that my best friend (Jen) is going to be moving in 7 weeks. :(
Cool breezy days and close friends near... after several years in pursuit of something... education, experience, stuff, etc... I'm still in pursuit of adventure and success... but I can only do so because of the days off like today. Good friends are a bit like a good baseball game... both are full of highs and lows, cheers and wake-up calls... and both are there when you need a break and a good time.
And so now I sit... wondering how to send my friend off on her next adventure that shows how thankful I am for all the days like today that I've gotten to have?
