Get Happy

The title of this blog of from a J.J. Johnson chart called “Get Happy”. Life has been really awesome. Today, I got congratulate APU’s graduating class of 2011, even though I only found a small handful of my friends after the ceremony, the point is that I was there to share their joy and achievement. So much joy on the faces of graduates. It’s so much more than a high school graduation ceremony. Graduating high school, to me, is a no brainer. Graduating from a University is a calculated choice where this ceremony is a crowning moment to all the papers, exams, all-nighters, cups of coffee, laughter, tears, stupid moments, etc. It.was.all.worth.it.

I’ve found my love for trombone and for jazz, again. I’ve never felt like this before, not since my studies in Heidelberg. Something is seriously at work in me, and I truly give thanks to God for awakening this within me. I want to let it grow! I want to light the world on fire with trombone!

I’m excited for tour, in which I depart in one and a half hours. I’m excited for what God has in store. I’m excited for the relationships that I cultivate. That second part excites me, since I’m a commuter, extended opportunities to bond are few and far between for me, so this is pretty exciting. Granted, I did this last year, I know that this year will be nothing short of God ordained.

Just finished writing my Mother’s day card. nothin’ but respect! They go way beyond the call of duty. Appreciate. Respect.
