In recent weeks I've had many readers e-mail me about how their own lives have been touched by my words. I'm humbled. Truly. But I will say this. If I wasn't doing so well after divorce, everything I had to share would mean crap. I had to be blunt.
Let me share how life is good. In fact how my life is great.
Last year I managed my son's little league team. This year I returned to the managers role. I manage the same team too, in name that is. We lost our first game of the season. Last year we lost our first game too. In fact we lost our second. But we ended the season with a winning record. We not only finished with a winning record, we finished in second place. We made the play-offs too.
This year after losing our first game we have now won seven in a row. We are now 7-1 in first place.

Now for my second son.. my youngest. He too plays in the league. I assistant coach on his team. And I've found for him ...just getting started in organized ball I found that his love for the game is greater than I knew. The first game of his season... he put his uniform on at breakfast and wore it the next three days. I'm not kidding. And yes, I washed it.
We are a small family and in life, I've learned it throws you curve balls. You just have to learn how to hit em. I said that today by accident in front of sales woman and she stopped me and said... "Wow... that is so true." While baseball is not my life, I've learned a lot of life's lessons are played out on that baseball field.
And for you ... more »
