Talent May 6, 2010

Happy Track Day #73: (Wed. May 5) Did a remote at the KCAC Baseball tournament.  I had a great time interviewing the Commissioner of KCAC and coaches and such.  I used to always be nervous interviewing people but I really enjoyed it and seemed to do it with ease.  It made me realize some talent that I have and really appreciate having that talent.  Also it was a GREAT day for baseball!

 

Dinner Drives May 6, 2010

Happy Track Day #72: I love being an adult and saying yeah…lets drive an hour or more to go have dinner.  Sounds good to me.  Its a freedom that when we’re younger we don’t have and may not even really want but now that I have it, its nice to be able to just go DO whatever.  Went to Hutch for dinner what a free feeling! (too bad gas isn’t free)

 

30 Rock May 6, 2010

Happy Track Day #71:  So I’ve been pretty overwhelmingly satisfied with my Netflix instant play on the Wii. Recently I decided I’d give 30 Rock a shot on Netflix.  I figured with it being a 21min TV show I could watch an episode and go do other things and a few days later watch another episode…. So I started the first episode…..7 hours later I finished the entire first season!  (Posting this a bit late I can say I’m not on season 3)  30 rock makes me happy.  That Tina Fey girl rocks.

Happy Track Day #70: (Sunday May 2) We had our end of the season concert for my church choir on Sunday night.  We did a whole ice cream social afterwards as well.  Us choir members brought the goodies 1/2 of which was the homemade ice cream.  The amazing flavors people made at home.. strawberry, chocolate, toffee, oreo, vanilla, and……COFFEE!! Home made coffee ice cream!!! IT was amazing!  I loved it!  Definitely one of my all time favs.

 

Power of Prayer May 6, 2010

Happy Track Day #69: Was a little worried about a remote I had to do.  Everyone told me this guy is difficult to deal with and it was going to be bad.  Before going to the remote I stopped everything and prayed about the remote.  Go figure the remote went smoothly…the guy was more than easy to deal with and the remote went without a glitch.  That’s the power of prayer my friends!

 

Lonely May 6, 2010

Happy Track Day #68: (Friday April 30) I watched “Up in the Air”.  It was a good movie but I’ve never felt more alone.  It really made me feel grateful for the amazing people I have been blessed with in my life!

Happy Track Day #67: (a week late) I absolutely love Thursdays.  For many reasons really but I love getting together with my Thursday night group!  Those people mean the world to me.  I look forward to Thursdays every week and am so happy when it comes around.

 

Awakening April 29, 2010

Happy Track Day #66:  I woke up with a will to praise God!  Its not like I did a 180 but was just more hungry for the Lord!  All day I had this feeling. It encouraged me to be happier, be more prayerful, sing more, and be open to others throughout my whole day!  I almost feel like I’ve been in a long dark sleep and have just had an awakening!

 

Dad Calls April 28, 2010

Happy Track Day #65: I talk to my folks about once a week or so.  If they don’t call me I’ll call them. Its almost always the same thing.  I’m put on speaker phone almost immediately.  Both parents are present at the beginning of the conversation, after a short time Mom has had enough.  She’s not mad or anything just doesn’t spend lots of time talking on the phone.  Dad however could talk forever.  I talked to my dad for 2 1/2 hours yesterday!  Some of it important, some fluff but all worth the time.  I LOVE my Dad phone calls! We can be serious and laugh our heads off all in 1 call and never notice the hours roll by.

Happy Track Day #64: (April 26) Had a rough day with leg pain.  This is a “happy track” blog intended to help me see and appreciate the happy things of each day…. so here it goes….The only positive I can seem to pull from this day is that I really appreciate the days with minimal pain.
