Three Month Anniversary
Well well folks, beginning to feel that holiday cheer even though its about a month of dreary eyed work days away? To me it feels like mid-September with 25 degree sunny days because for the past 17 years, mid-November has been light snow falls and early dark nights. Now its relatively warm sunny days with early dark nights. It’s been about 3 months since I got to Israel and it feels like the time has passed by quite fast, yet to slow. Before I began this journey, and one of the reasons I did it, I knew I would learn a number of qualities about myself. Also for the experience.
And what have a learned about myself? in short, tons, but I made this blog so I could give you more than the half of it. For starters I’ve learned that it’s difficult to just pick up and leave to another country even when you have things set up and you know you are coming back. Second, I’ve learned that family and friends is what will truly make me happy in the future. Being away from that makes you realize that the people that care about you are the people you want to be around. They are also the people that won’t judge you, and if they do judge you, it will be based on the type of person you are (character, moral etc) and not as the professional position you hold. ie. computer programmer, athlete etc. I think this experience made me realize that no matter what I do in life I will know what makes me happy which is probably the most important goal a person (in my opinion) can achieve. So ask yourself what makes you happy? And if there is an experience you need to go through to reach that goal then do as you will. Also, as much I love basketball, I realize that there are many other things in life that I want to accomplish but I’ll leave it at that.
Beyond this is the basketball. My team has been struggling of late and with that came some change. Our coach recently stepped aside and handed over the reigns to our assistant coach. So far practice have been more intense so we’ll see where things head from here, hopefully for the better but time will tell.
Besides that things are cool and hopefully if we start winning I will update this thing more often even though my updating shouldn’t be based on our winning or losing but that’s life folks.
Much Love.
