Post- Old Bridge Competition
I can't really express enough how proud I was of everyone tonight.
We did really well after an extended vacation from the field.
And that field was bad. I had the great opportunity of walking on it for retreat.
You guys really did a great job keeping everything together.
If anyone is, in fact, checking this: remember. 9:30 AM
remember all your gear again.
In the words of a wise percussionist named Shawn Mack :
"Don't think. Just do."
Shawn said that to me after championships last year.
I had almost tanked the last phrase of the show.
Why?
Because I second guessed myself and almost played completely wrong notes.
But I went with my gut and got it right.
It's all about trusting your instinct.
Guys, what you know is what you know.
We've all worked. It's in our brains.
And you need to trust in God, or a higher power, to get you through.
If you don't know something, He does.
So yeah. Um. The point of this post is to say that it's all cool.
Keep it real.
