Hanging up my cleats


I've played softball since I was in high school... geez going on almost 30 years.  I love/hate the game.  I love being outside and the camaraderie but I hate having to be somewhere every Friday night and I hate when I don't do good.  Last night I sucked.  I struck out and I couldn't get the ball out of the in field (hitting).. and I didn't play my usual position (catcher).. I was in the outfield.  I like the outfield ok.. its a chance to do sprints and run like a kid.. but catching is where all the action is at.. the conversations and the interaction between me and Paul, our pitcher, make me totally giddy.  So I had a bad night and seriously thought about not doing this anymore.... but then a teammate of mine asked me to fill in today.. and I responded "But Im hitting like shit".. and she said.. "So What"... and that was all it took.. Let's play ball!
