Hard to believe that we are 20 days from Pitchers and Catchers reporting! It's like seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. It may seem like it was just October in the heat of the pennant race, and yet here we are just a few days from February!
It's very exciting to think about a whole new season out in front of me! And to top it off I had lunch with KB today! I know! We talked about how long its been since we'd last seen one another. It was almost a year! We've talked on the phone several times, and he's had two brain surgeries to keep the Parkinson's at bay .. and here we are.
He looked, sounded and WAS wonderful! What's most admirable is his wonderful spirit and outlook. "Well, I have Parkinson's,' he said, "I guess there could be worse things, right?" He asks with a sparkle in his blue eyes. He told wonderful stories, he asked insightful questions and we agreed that we needed to continue these visits while he's here in Dallas for the next few months.
I know fully understand and have lived the phrase, "good for the soul." That's how I feel after I've spent time with him. He reminds of what is wonderful and good in the world. When we share our stories of what I'm most grateful for today - its just one thing - KB.
Amen.
