I LOVE them!

Talk about FUN!  I did something last week that I have never done before and quite honestly didn’t think I would ever do.  It’s not something I dreamed about, or placed on a bucket list or even spent very much time contemplating.  But as the moment of truth edged closer and closer, I became more and more excited.  In fact, I still get super excited thinking about it over a week later, LOL.

I sat court-side at an NBA game – Rockets vs. Jazz – FOR FREE!

I live just outside Houston and the game was at home.  I’ve been an NBA basketball fan since I lived in Atlanta in the early 90s and watched Dominique Wilkins, Spud Webb, Doc Rivers and the rest of the guys.  When I first moved to Houston, the basketball bug subsided for a couple of years, but I started watching again in the Charles Barkley, Stevie Francis, Cuttino Mobley, coach Rudy T “era” and have been going to the games ever since.  I am fortuitously connected to a person who also loves basketball and somehow always manifests interesting viewing options: Red & White (swanky gourmet buffet and mid level tables from which to watch the game); Company Suite (big screen TVs, snacks and adult beverages); regular ‘ol great seats.  Saturday night was the Mamaseata of viewing options.

And while I didn’t get on Kiss Cam or Dance Cam, and while I didn’t catch t-shirts or caps, while no basketballs or basketball players landed on me (my.little.fantasy.) – I could read the tattoos on the players’ arms, I could hear the court chatter and squeak of sneakers and I was reminded (again) how the Universe provides what we need, what we desire AND a great many fun surprises along the way!

In the comments below I’m dying to hear about one of your favorite surprises; what was it, how did it feel, did it change you in some way?  Share, share, share.

Great surprising love and big hugs,

p.s. yes, Rockets WON! 🙂
