Picture this.
I'm in a restaurant with some of my buddies watching the Final Four games. I get up, walk to the bathroom.
On my way I pass a waitress telling our waiter, Colton, "Ok, I'm going to go grab some coffee. Do you want some?"
I immediately piped up, "Yes."
She looked at me funny.
I laughed as I kept on walking to the bathroom. And Colton came to my rescue: "He's cool. Trust me."
Let me be really honest. I've felt stuck for the past few months. Locked up. Afraid. You know, just stuck.
Hearing Colton say those words really helped me smile and laugh at myself and remind myself of the playfulness that I can embody when I choose to. Lately, I've leaned into more seriousness. I'm just stating that as a fact. I want to be more playful. More fun. More honest.
It hasn't all been serious, but I've just felt locked up.
This weekend was a help for me getting unlocked too.
I was at The Final Four. An event that I have enjoyed since my first trip in 2002. I was with old friends and even made a new one: a fascinating coach from Greece. So, yes. There was plenty to talk about.
Good food. Good times. Good learning in sessions. And good walks.
Short post. On the plane back from DFW. Ready to be home.
