You ever wake up in a good mood, and then you remember why you’re in a good mood, and the feeling is that much sweeter? I had that experience this morning. I had a wonderful date with the same friend from Cafe Brenda. For the sake of her anonymity, I’ll call her Ms. X. Not very original, I know. Maybe she’ll have a better suggestion. Anyway, we saw the Picasso exhibit at the Minneapolis Art Institute. If you have any interest in modern art, you really should check it out. I haven’t enjoyed myself that much in some time, and I think I’m still feeling the buzz from it.
So I got a call on Friday saying that I’ve been selected to receive a Courage Center award. Apparently, they select people with disabilities every year who are successful in their chosen professions. It seems a bit odd because I don’t really feel like I’ve accomplished that much. I mean, other people have done much more significant things by my age. But now I have to prepare a brief acceptance speech for a dinner on October 12th. I’m not certain I can be profound in 2-3 minutes. But I suppose it can be done.
Peace,
Mark
