Tonight we sat in the “Terrace Club” seats at Safeco Field for tonight’s baseball game. These are more pricey than ours, but they had offered a special where you could just trade your regular tickets for Terrace Club seats for one game – so we did. They were very nice seats, really – they were padded! The view was about directly across from our normal seats, so 180 degrees different. Good to change it up. Carl chatted with our neighbors – a sister of a former major leaguer that Carl had followed and even corresponded with once. Then we found some friends just a short distance away and caught up with them as well.
But my real reference is my own need to adopt a different point of attitude. These last few days I have felt snippy and snipey, and have not always had my filter in good operating order. I am hoping a few hours of sleep will help – so it is time for bed. It had better. I don’t think I can stand myself like this much longer. Time for some wine to quell the whine.

Me too (or three). Snippy, that is.

This was the ‘daily zen’ that my friend Jeff sent yesterday —
God is the experience of looking at a tree and saying, “Ah!”
– Joseph Campbell
And while I disagree with the ‘god’ part of the quote, I do often look at trees/flowers/sunrise/sunset/etc. and say something along the lines of ‘ah’.
You just need to stop and smell the roses more often — on the way to the game or work, or whatever. and appreciate that you can see a big ol’ mountain — occasionally. and wine. wine is good.

I would guess that some of the snippyness is due to your upcoming walk. I predict that next week you will be in a different space — sore muscles, but brain can relax. (That was my experience, anyway.)
