Apart from a little rain, the weather this evening was great for running. Ran a record 13k, and slightly faster than last time too! Furthermore, I’m starting to enjoy my run a little more, before it was mostly just training and hardship. Perhaps it is the extra endorphin production induced by exercising, or maybe I’m starting to get over the “difficult” stage of mastering a new skill set – as the saying goes “Everything is difficult…. until they become easy.”
Although I haven’t watched a NBA game for the entire season, I really felt the urge to catch the last game this morning. On my way to work, I kept an eye out for restaurants that may broadcast the game, and I also asked my “coworkers” for possible venues to watch the game near the office. All was futile, I ended up just keeping track of the live scores from a browser while messaging my friends who are watching the game from half way across the globe. This is one of the occasional times I wished I were in Toronto – grabbing a beer and catching the game with my friends.
I remember telling my friends just a few weeks ago that I sometimes feel like I don’t belong to this city even though I’ve moved back for close to 4 years already. I seem to think and value things differently than most people locally, and I really don’t want to follow the crowd.
I recall this scripture from the Bible: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.” (Romans 12:2)
