To those who pray,

For awhile, I have been wanting things to change in my life.  I thought that the best way to change things would be to pray.  Putting things out into the world so that maybe my wishes would come true on some level.  A friend told me that when you pray there are three answers: 1. YES, 2. Not right now and 3. I have something better for you.  No is never an answer to your prayers.  I find this to be a bit of a relief.

Since I have started praying before I go to bed, some of my prayers have come true.  It's really exciting to see it happen!  Sometimes it takes a bit longer than I want it to be.

I guess the saying goes "be careful for what you wish for."

Enjoying life,
Lenny
 
P.S. One of my prayers today is for the Thunder to win Game 5. : )

To those who are NBA fans,

A couple of years ago I decided to relive my youth.  My sister and I use to watch NBA basketball every Saturday growing up!  It was our ritual.  I am sure I saw Kobe Bryant in his first year, witnessed Michael Jordan's hungry eyes, noticed my sister's David Robinson shoes of AirForce Ones, purchased a poster of Shaquille O'Neal as a first and drove by Kevin Garnett's home in Minnetonka, MN to seeing if he was shooting hoops.  But memory gets difficult to pinpoint.  

A few years ago was when a new generation of future stars jumped out of the television!  Among them Blake Griffin, Chris Paul, Kevin Durant and Rajon Rondo.  I was immediately attracted to Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder basketball team!  It was almost love at first sight.  He carried himself with poise, had a humble feel to him, a Mama's boy, and could shot a fade away like no other which made me become maybe the first big fan of OKC.   And plus, he has been the leading scorer in the last three years and OKC has been an underdog for the last few years until this year when the doors have opened and talent has shined in more ways than one.     

OKC has broken the San Antonio's endless winning streak and wins at home!!!  As experts anticipate each playoff game between the two and wonder if this is the year that the changing of the guards happen and the passing of the torch will be conquered.  Last night's game was a momentous game for the OKC franchise.  It was a nail bitter as two amazing teams played with such energy, both physical and mental.  It's a game of momentum, who's hot, who's has the quickest but precise control, who can handle the fouls, who can step up a be the clutch player but most of all who has the killer drive. Last night it was OKC.  Only time will tell as to who will move onto the championship series.

Wishing much luck to Scottie Brooks and OKC,

My-Linh

P.S. I wore a bun on top of my head to rally the OKC in the fourth quarter last night.
