I really badly want to post about something happy, something positive. Unfortunately I am not in the place where that comes easily. I have felt of late like Jacob in the Old Testament, wrestling with God, and I'm just waiting for the permanent limp, whatever it may be. Yeah, not very sunny, but necessary.
So, moving on, I'm going to post about NCAA softball. I'm watching these girls that are so good at what they do, that are so intense and have fought so hard, try to get a national championship. I have great admiration for that. The whole idea that you can be the best in the world (or the nation) at something has always fascinated me. What drives them? What motivates them to be the best? Do they always know they will be the best? Admittedly, I'm sort of rooting for Oklahoma because of everything they've been through lately. Well, except if they were to play Alabama (which they won't, because Alabama lost to Tennessee).
I'm also amused that these girls who have dug deep and played with such conviction have these elaborate bows that they wear while they're playing. Girls just want to be girls, even when they are sweaty and dirty and playing hard.
Maybe it's time to get out my own bows.
