Wow!!! What emotional roller coaster the last four hours have been!!! After finishing my seven 3-Day cities in less than 3 minutes video (thanks to all for the sweet comments!!), I knew I had one more 2014 posting to make and that was a short album on FB of my favorite shots for each of the many parts that make up the 3-Day (e.g., Opening, Closing, the Youth Corp). After an hour of going through photos, with so many wonderful memories flooding back, the tears started flowing as I finally began the process of decompressing from the 2014 season. As I continued to go from city to city, my thoughts turned to how blessed I was to be able to participate in all the cities, the tremendous support from family and friends and to be so blessed by God for the good health and all things noted. Then the phone rang, to hear from my wife that her new car was missing from work, apparently stolen from the parking lot. Shifting emotional gears, I left for her workplace already thinking through how to deal with this situation, when I received another call from her, stating that it wasnt stolen but accidentally towed at the request of the property manger. Shifting emotional gears from a sense of violation of having our property stolen to one of anger and frustration over this type of inconvenience to our day, I knew the property manager was definitely a man that was not going to want to deal with me when I arrived. Nearly two and a half hours later, having waited for nearly 90 minutes at the impound facility, things were straightened out, the property manager had a considerably lighter wallet and we were driving home. Although we had lost some precious Sunday afternoon time, missed a chance to go to an amazing Living Nativity in Fremont, Becky was safe, we had our car back and things were looking better. Having completed dinner, I returned to what I had left a few hours earlier - choosing photos from the just completed 2014 3-Day events that would convey what I hold so dear to my heart. After only a few sets of photos, I again felt very blessed for all I had received from the 3-Day, triggering the flow of tears once again. It was nice to have things back to normal!!!
