LOONNGG Overdue!

Boy! It's really been a long time since I last blogged. The thought of it crossed my mind a hundred times. No worries, though, life has been good. Crazy busy, but good. As per my last post, I experienced my first year as an assistant high school softball coach. My family made some time sacrifices for me to be able to do this and I am so very thankful they found a survival instinct and made it through just fine. I on the other hand, I NEEDED this to happen. It really turned out to be as much of a self-reflection experience as it was a teach and give back experience. To keep a long story short, our team went through a roller coaster of a season with injuries, adversity, and even a player being asked to leave. In the end, it turned out to be a winning season, not only on paper, but for players and coaches alike. I really think something special happened there at the end and it wouldn't have mattered if that last win was our only win. Since then I have been trying to transition back into stay-at-home-mommy mode with a few days of substitute teaching and pitching lessons here and there. I'm really feeling confident about myself these days and I am hoping I can keep up this attitude because literally nothing bothers me anymore. No matter how crappy of an attitude people can have or how frustrating things can seem, I'm able to find a way to make it happen and move forward...solo or otherwise. It feels great!
