I was chilling on my apartment's rooftop deck soaking in the Mississippi River and downtown Davenport when I got hit by a powerful feeling of gratitude. I realized the last 7 days provided me with an inordinate amount of fulfilling personal transactions. What follows is the execution of my wish to share this with you. Granted, it is in executive-summary format and in no particular order. I find that is the only way to bring this to life. (I have tried for the last 90 minutes to bring this to life more substantially but I realized I was writing a novel instead of a blog. Nothing against novels but I want to finish this tonight.)
* full weekend adjusting seminar. learned tons of new techniques and became more proficient in already-known techniques.
* bridged the gap with a disenfranchised clique of people in my class. without getting into too much detail, a certain clique of people did something offensive to my sense of public decency yet I looked passed that to lessen the awkwardness.
* branched out to discover new extracurricular clubs. attended Mo Chih Chu and absolutely loved it. motivating and inspirational.
* super excited to get back on the pitch and referee soccer. first game in 6 months is two days from now and the thought enters my mind at least once an hour.
* I made no fewer than 5 strangers smile. the most powerful one was a disgruntled old lady sitting on a park bench. I rode by her on my bike, flashed a toothy smile, and gave her the quasi-guy-nod as to say "what's up, friend?!" when she first made eye contact she was still bitter but when she saw my facial expression she relented and broke into a humungous, genuine smile.
* Alyssa made brownies for me. ok, so they weren't for me specifically. but I did have some and they were awesome and thoughtful.
* a friend let me borrow his car for the weekend.
* organized yet another small-scale social organization, serving the void I felt last trimester
* Jenna, the indoor, FIV-infected cat, came home after several days on the prowl
* sat and talked chiropractic for 3.5 hours in the same house BJ Palmer, the Developer of Chiropractic, did
* became inspired by Chris's vision of opening a free kids chiropractic clinic in Davenport
* had my mind blown by discussing what a subluxation is for 2 hours at Troxell with Johanna
* MLS started and USSF produced their first Referee Week In Review
