6/11/13 - Kids' Progression in Softball

6/11/2013 is day #152 of lucky year 2013! And, today I felt so lucky to see evidence of my daughters' progression in softball! Both of their teams were in the playoffs again tonight, Anna's team lost, sadly, but Anna, the kid who told me last season she just wanted to practice and not play games, and then play home games only and not go on the road, had a good night at the plate and in the field at a ROAD playoff game and, despite telling us she did not want to play anymore..., she was genuinely sad that her season is now over.
Meanwhile, at home, Alexa's team won again!!! 9-8 on a walkoff, standup triple! Alexa pitched the last two innings (yes, Alexa who told us she did not want the pressure of pitching!) so she has her second win in the last two playoff games!
And, although I would like to take credit for their development, and although I do give them tips and encouragement, it is the wonderful coaching they have received this (and last) season that has aided their development. Lucky and thankful for their coaches: Nick Cussat, Craig Stauts, Dan Adoylette, and Keith Davis ; Brett Bataloni, Harrum Bataloni, Coach Sue Gerenstein, and Jimmy Steinhagen.

6/1/13 - Anna Victoria Sherr

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!
