So tomorrow, I turn 31, and quite possibly, it's the first time in my life, that I haven't cared about a birthday. Having said that, tonight when I was walking home, there was an energy in the air. You could hear faint cries of protests in the distance, the air was a pleasant but kinda bone chilling one and the hundreds of people walking home after getting kicked off buses which cut service for whatever reason, provided me with a smile and a warmth of being in Barcelona on this birthday.
Today, was one of intensity, coaching my Varsity girls volleyball team but I was proud of them. They perservered and showed me what they were made of. They have big hearts and an incredible ability to work together even though they haven't had tons of opportunities with the small group they have become in the last 3 weeks.
There was that energy and the ones from the Jordanian coaches, making me miss the Middle East, casually smoking cigarettes during the lunch break. I loved that they didn't care, that they were naturally raw people just tending to their habits. It's something you don't see all the time and it was refreshing and calming.
So, tonight, with something in the air, I will toast my team, my 31st year, this incredible Spanish city and hope that our energy remains fierce for tomorrow and Saturday with a local Spanish red...
Me gusta mi vida ahora...
