Blessings Undeserved

I was feeling good after today's fun Friday WOD. Really good. On my way home I got a text from my brother...(I was stopped at a light so please lower your eyebrows).

"Dude...you ARE the blog..."

"What?"

"Today Rick's blog is about you and a link to your blog...Proud of you - you might be the next Lisbeth!" (Lisbeth Darsh is the author of the "Crossfit Lisbeth" blog and an absolute ROCKSTAR. To sit at her feet and soak in her wisdom would probably turn me into one of those sobbing and pathetic girls you see in footage of the front rows of Beatles' concerts. To quote that awesome Intel commercial: "Our rockstars are different than your rockstars.")

OMG. Drive faster. I need to see this....

And now all I can say is that I am humbled. And amazed. And grateful. And thankful to know that I am exactly where I belong. Thank you, Rick. Thank you for accepting me into your fold and for helping me find my better self. You are an inspirational leader and I am so thankful to know you and to be your student.

And did you see that? My brother is proud of me. I could very easily be an embarrassment to him. But he's proud of me. And I'm so proud and awed by him that I have tried many times to put this into a post but can't...yet. I will find the words. Because he deserves them.

And then I get to work and check my e-mail and I have the most beautiful and loving and encouraging message from my best friend in the whole world. My April. My April who knows me and loves me anyway. :) She is one of my greatest treasures in life and I must also find a way to tell you about her.

This day is turning out to be pretty incredible.... Unexpected gifts. Blessings undeserved. Sunshine, grace, and mercy.

Happy Friday, everyone.
