Awesome volleyball game tonight!!!

This was probably one of the best that we've played all season. Everyone was hustling to get to the ball. People were hitting left and right. People were committing to the plays and following through. Everyone was talking and communicating. It didn't always looked pretty but we worked out tails getting the ball over. Everyone seemed to be relaxed but focused and having an awesome time. We played the best team in the league and lost but nobody seemed to be down about it. We came close to winning the game and had a blast competing!! Quite a game, quite a journey!!

This year, this season of my life, has been like the game that I played tonight. Life didn't always look pretty, it wasn' t always fun; there were times when people got hurt and times when people got burned but there were also time when things were clicking and things were working out. This year I had to make big commitments and back out on some; I had to let go of some 'comforts' that I've been accustomed to and accept and enjoy some that I've been entitled to but have been neglecting to recognize. To my own surprise, I actually think that I've been more focused and determined than I've ever been. And, if you've spent some time with me lately, you'll be able to tell that I've been very relaxed! There were things that I've done right and things that didn't go so well but all in all the journey has been sweet and rewarding.

As this season of my life goes on, there will be more challenges to face and games to play. Wins and losses will count for something but it will never count for everything. In the process of becoming... I will learn... I will win... I will fail... I will laugh... I will shed some tears... I will have the adventure of my life. In the end, when all is said and done, then, I will become.
