Beginning at the Beginning, pt. III/Thankful

Today has been so hectic, I haven't even had a real break to even type for 5 minutes.  In short, this weekend was pretty damn special to me.  I got a chance to kick it with some of the folks I went to college with.  A lot of feel good stuff, although I didn't go to any clubs with the family…  Even blew off the Redskins game to chill in Malcolm X park, drinking wine and laughing with my folks. 

Still getting used to flying solo, but all things in time.  Oh, this was the first weekend in who knows how long since I've had my head on a swivel or flirted.  Felt mildly awkward, but it was fun nonetheless.  Don't know what the next steps are, but I hope to God they are deliberate.  I don't want to backslide; I like me much better when I'm committed to something.  An uncommitted Lee is often an undisciplined Lee…not a good look.

Anyway, although I didn't get to see everybody I would have like to this weekend, I saw who I needed to see this weekend, and that's good enough for me.  Every time I do chill w/ my folks, I get a great deal of perspective, an opportunity to reflect on personal and group growth.  That, coupled with the last year and change of familial/social turbulence (good and bad) has let me know that I've grown a great deal, and for that, I feel eternally blessed.  And for that, I am humbled, and thankful…

Shalom.
