4/16/13 - Watching my Daughters Playing Softball

Lucky Year 2013 trundles on and, with weather like today, it is NOT hard to feel lucky. But the weather is not what REALLY made me feel lucky today, today my lucky feelings stem from watching my daughters play (and progress in skill while doing so) the game of softball. Alexa had a complete game win, pitching her team to a 20-3 win last night (and she got some of those hits too) and Anna's team played tonight, great coverage in the Snack Stand allowed me to watch most of th...e game, including her first Home Run (even snapped a picture as she connected, see attached!) They are getting better and better and they are aided by the wonderful coaches in their careers including (but not limited to) Nick Cussat, Kathleen Kronberger Press, Shawn Fore, Brian Cole, Brett Bataloni, Craig Stauts, Jimmy Steinhagen, and Coach Sue (sorry, she is not my FB friend yet!) . It takes a village to teach and imbue the love of the game into kids, and the coaches and volunteers of OBLL are amazing. Luck abounds!

6/1/13 - Anna Victoria Sherr

Image
Day #152 of lucky year 2013 is 6/1/2013. Day #152 of 2004 was also VERY lucky for us. Anna Victoria Sherr was born and what a joy she is and continues to be! I am so proud of how she is growing up - she makes me laugh, she makes me see the good in life, she makes me so happy. It goes without saying that what I feel lucky for today is this beautiful daughter of mine.

5/8/13 - Cleansing Rain

5/8/2013 - Day #128 of lucky year 2013. Today, I feel lucky for the cleansing power of rain. Sure, it was frustrating the way that Mother Nature played games with us today - sunny/pouring/sunny/sprinkles/partly sunny/POURING - but the rain seems to have washed away much of the pollen that has been causing me great nasal distress....so tonight, I am breathing better and for that, I feel lucky.

5/11/13 - Miss Shernoff's Wedding

Today was day 131 of lucky year 2013. Now, 131 is a palindrome so you KNEW it would be a good day. And it was, spent with family, meaning even more since I will be working much of the next two days (including Mother's Day) because of Graduation events.....I REALLY felt lucky tonight when Sarah and her mom, Winnie Walters were playing beautiful music at Miss Shernoff's wedding. Not only did their music move me (as it usually does), but I was able to see the joy in Anna and her friend's faces as they were able to attend the ceremony and see one of their favorite teachers get married. Best comment overheard "I am pinching myself so I know this is not a dream!" This pure joy is exactly what I feel a wedding should be about. And the music, and the girls' reactions brought that joy to the forefront. Amen!
