I Love That There Is A Different Way

I remember the feeling I got when I went into the opposing team’s gymnasium for the first time – it was a small gym and we were going to play basketball there, and hopefully we would go home happy, with a win. The strangeness of the gym was apparent from the first time you walked in – there were bleachers on one of the “long sides” of the building, and a stage on the other, with no seats on the ends. This was unlike other gyms we had been to before – and it became one of my favorite places just because it was different.

Have you ever enjoyed something just because it’s a departure from normal?

This isn’t all that unusual, I suppose, but I think that maybe I enjoy it more than most. If there is an uncommon way of accomplishing something, I usually want to do it that way. Sometimes it is easier, sometimes harder, but almost always it is the most unique way to finish the task.

This story doesn’t have any moral, there’s no take-home message, just sharing a quick thought that popped into my “post-midnight” head.
