A Night to Remember.

The other night I was invited to a Final Four party with some of my former basketball buddies. We all have added a few pounds, our hair has thinned or become grey. One of the guys I hadn’t seen in 30 years.

What hasn’t changed is our love for basketball. In some ways we have all stayed involved in the game through coaching, referee, volunteering and even still playing or watching their children play.  

It didn’t take long for the memories to come flooding back. It is amazing the more we age the better the stories get. 

We are all successful in many ways. Several of the guys went into education, one is an architect, another works with troubled youth, another is a sales rep. I work in health care  in a building where the hosts wife works and one of the guys brother works who I have known for many years until Saturday never made the connection. 

Some of us are dealing with mental health issues and one guy has MS.  We have for most kept in touch and are friends. The years pass, the moments do not.  

It is great that we are all open about our lives and are able to support each other if needed. Life goes on the connections remain strong.

My theme for this year is to focus on abundance and this evening was another example of how abundant my life is.
