Do you think you can go a weekend without sports? That means no catching a glimpse of a sporting event on TV (even highlights), checking up on a score online or picking up a newspaper and reading a story on the game the previous night.
That was my life this past weekend and until late Sunday night I did not even realize I had done that. My life seems to be dedicated to sports and I cannot remember going 24 hours without at least flipping through the channels to see a game or getting online to check what my baseball team did.
But this weekend, it was not about sports and it felt kind of good. It helped that I was very distracted and did not have the easiest means to get my sports fix.
My wife and I moved into our new house this weekend. We did not have cable hookup — it was turned off at the old house on Friday and connected at the new house Monday — so no Sports Center this weekend. There also was no computer being opened up or newspaper being read.
However, our weekend had plenty of excitement that would rival any sporting event.
We had serious drama – a small attic fire in the old house on the first morning of our move. We were blessed as no one got hurt and there was very little damage. Got to give major props to the Palestine fire department for getting the fire under control very quickly.
There was strength and muscle being used — There was a lot of heavy lifting going on during the two days. I never realized how much stuff my wife and I have. It seemed like after we moved one load, we went back to the old house and there was more stuff to move. The toughest things to move were the BBQ grill and the full-size coach.
Satisfaction and enjoyment at the end — Know that feeling you have when your team wins a game, that is how I felt Sunday night after everything had been moved in. It was a sense of relief to be finished but also a fullfillment of joy being in our new house.
