This past week has been so incredible!! I’ve gotten to meet new people, catch up with friends I haven’t seen in a while, and actually enjoy some free time. Since I have been saying “no” for the past several months to everything asked of me, I decided to say “yes” for a week. I’ve never actually seen the entire film Yes Man, but the gist of the movie seems to be that he needs to start taking risks and saying yes when people ask him to do something. I never thought a Jim Carrey movie would inspire me in life…but maybe it did. I didn’t tell anyone I was doing this that way I couldn’t be taken advantage of, and luckily no one asked me to do anything outlandish. It was an incredibly fun week for the mere fact that UAB was not involved!! Here’s what I did (not including working and basic boring errand running and the like):
Monday: Had “family dinner” and conversation with friends and met lots of new folks as well.
Tuesday: Got to help provide and eat dinner at the YWCA, meet new people, and pray with a family I’d just met. A-mazing!
Wednesday: Went running for the first time in a long time at the T Shak, got free food, then had some overdue quality time with a friend.
Thursday: Went to hear Matt Wertz and Ben Rector at a local venue then went to Waffle House after. It was an awesome night of music, friends and laughing till my stomach was cramping. BTW…since when does Waffle House accept anything but cash?!?
Friday: I went to the wedding of one of the first friends I had in Birmingham. It was great to reconnect with friends I hadn’t seen in a while! More to come on this later…it gets it’s own posting.
