a very nice day

Great day today! Generally Sunday is a keep it slow kind of day. Not so much today. Had a freelance gig this AM -- 150 mile round trip. Then I went to my first-ever Mariners game this afternoon. The Cleveland Indians won 9-7. But it was still a fun time! My energy is pretty much zapped ... but in a good way.

Being in that atmosphere (Mariners/Safeco Field/Diamond Club Seats) brought thought to the forefront often today. Thoughts about what propels people to the top of their game, for lack of a better phrase. In whatever they are doing ... is it relaxing and letting things flow in and out? Just seems people perform better when they are relaxed. We sat in seats directly behind homeplate ... three rows back. THE best seats -- in the sun most of the game. Although a bit more shade time might have improved the experience a tad. The tickets were a gift. And the experience was a treat beyond treats! Up close and personal. Sitting among other people that are lucky in life. Right place, right time brought those tickets to my hands. It was a great time! And it started a positive line of thinking ... which always improves the experience.

time flies

Geez, it's been almost a month since I was here last. Doesn't seem like a month. But one look at the calendar and ... yep, 25 days have passed by and not a word from me here. What have I been doing with my time? Reading ... tons of reading. Traveling ... went to visit the family and watch my dear boy cousin (okay, he's a man ... but a boy to me) get married. I've met tons of interesting people too. Most everywhere I've been it seems there was someone very interesting. Keep a look out, they are everywhere!
