Carpe Diem

Call the WNBA scout – I signed up for a basketball class! This was a big step for me, and I momentarily regretted it minutes later when I saw the sports page of the newspaper with arms in faces and people falling- but too late. I’m doing this.

As previously mentioned, I didn’t do many sports while I was a kid. I remember in 5th grade there was a girl who had broken her nose during some sport and now had a big bump nose. I remember asking my dad if I broke my nose would he get me a nose job, and he said ‘no’, and I said to myself ‘ok, I’m never going to play sports’, and I didn’t. That might sound vain, but when you’re a fifth grader with pre-contacts coke bottle glasses and a pre-braces snaggletooth, you protect the one thing you have going for you.

Anyway, I’m excited.

Last year for me was pretty much just surviving being divorced. I would say to myself, come on Anne get out of bed, you can do it, ok, now go eat something, good job… and thankfully God brought me through it. This year is more back on track and doing things that I want to do again. I can’t believe I have one year of nursing school almost done, woohoo!, only one year and 8 weeks to go! God has been so good to me and I am thankful.

Praise be to the Lord, for he has heard my cry for mercy. The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. Psalm 28:6-7
