Grateful Diet - Day 16

What a busy Saturday! I went to Levi's Stadium to watch high school football. There were 2 games scheduled on Satuday. I was a game between  Oakdale and Manteca.  My game buddy and I were under the preconceived notion that it would have been remotely possible for us to get seats to 49ers game thus we bought the tickets for the game weeks ago. The funny thing is we went to a 49ers game before this game.  I am grateful that we went to the game to experience the game sitting in one of those expensive seats when 49ers are playing. We sat at 143 area and it was very close to the field. I appreciate the experience.

While in the stadium, I remotely setup the recording for the NLCS game between Giants and Cardinals. I am grateful for the convenience that technology brings to modern life. In case I don't get home in time, I can watch the recording. We decided to leave 10 minutes into the second game. Instead of staying home, I made a hair appointment while leaving the stadium.

As I was sitting in the saloon waiting for the color to set, it donned to me that nothing changes in this Saloon.  I see the same hairdressers at the beauty parlor for the last 8 years.  As one of them was leaving from work, I felt that their life seem so monotonous. Sometimes I crave the slow pace in life but not their way. At work , things change frequently and churn is pretty high.  There are a lot of highs and lows at work. I think I prefer my life over theirs. Ironically for me to say this, I am grateful to the fast pace environment that I live in.
