Time to Take A Deep Breath

This past weekend was a rare one for this time of year, because after I returned from FIU with the volleyball team on Friday night, I had no events for the rest of the weekend. The break from timely work was nice, but even though I didn't have anything immediately pressing, I still had to do prep work for the basketball season opener (Nov. 8).
It also gave me an opportunity to truly appreciate how fortunate I am. I am able to work in my chosen profession, at a Division I institution that is roughly half an hour away from where I grew up. There are many people who would consider themselves lucky to do any one of those three things, and I get to do all of them.
With the holidays approaching, we will frequently reminded to take time to be thankful for what we have. However, when traveling with men's basketball, that lesson can be easily forgotten. I'm glad that the athletic calendar gave me the opportunity to get an early start on showing my gratitude.
