alone again, naturally, i miss sharing intimacy of emotions, especially when intense and diverging emotions burst through me simultaneously (of course modern psychology would label it bi-polar, which it is, mostly because people love labels and the drama of sickness and the hope of cures, but that's beside the point, mostly)... the body requires sleep more than ever as it pitched five softball games tonight and has five more to pitch tomorrow and i only slept three hours last night and if i am lucky i will sleep six tonight, probably more like five... we entered the tournament after splitting the round robin games as the eleventh seed and we won the first to torunament games and then blew a 14 run lead in the last two innings (mostly due to putting less experienced players in the outfield and the team captains didn't pull them for the second of two 8 run innings, and we lost)... it's double elimination, so we play until we lose another and we do not intend to lose another so we need to win five tomorrow to be champions... the champions in ft. lauderdale did that... we came in third down there... anyway, i wrote this to the team moments ago and i feel much better (and wiser) now :)
It's Sunday, GOOD MORNING! :)
I have some great memories of some great playing we did yesterday... and a few very painful innings... and i am now letting it all go...
I am leaving yesterday behind because carrying it around will not help us win today and i want to win today and i know we can win today so let's do it
"want to win?... first enjoy the game for the sake of the game, win or lose... second, enjoy the people you play with... and third, learn the most important lesson...
the most important lesson we can learn is that consistent winners know how to leave yesterday behind - let it go... "
all i ask of you is that you do your best to win today :)
and i'll love you no matter what,
ric
i hope you are enjoying your weekend as much as i am enjoying mine, or more, even, if you can stand it :)
