Time Well Spent

Howdy y'all!!! Well it's been awhile again. LOL!!!! Been busy with ballpractice and spring cleaning on the house. Yes, I'm coaching softball. I coach my daughter,Olivia's team. She plays in the Mini division, 7-8 year olds. The girls are really great. They get along and play very well. We may win a trophy this year. Angel is one of the other coaches and one of the girls mom and dad are the other two coaches. It is very interesting to say the least. So far I am really enjoying it. I may continue coaching for a few years.

Angel is up for a full time position at the rehab place she works at. I hope she gets it. Then she will be home at night and we can be like a normal family again.

I've been getting the house ready for warm weather. I finally had to mow the yard. It looks really great though. Saturday, April 15th, I'm going to the Nascar race in Nashville. I can't wait. I love going to the races. I have been to both Busch races for the past several years, but have never been to the Truck race or the Indy car race. I hope to make those this year. I'm going with my dad and was hoping Angel and Olivia would be able to go, but Angel is gonna take care of ball practice that day. It will give me and dad a chance to spend some time together. We don't get to do that much cause of work and other things. We go to the races and play golf and that's about it.

Which brings me to my thought for today. why do we seem to drift away from our families as we get older? I know most of us are busy, but we can't be that busy. Also, sometimes there is distance involved, but that is another story. My parents only live 10 miles away and I don't see them much. One day they will be gone and I will regret the time I didn' spend with them. I try to spend as much time with them as possible, but sometimes it still doesn't seem like enough.

If your family is close, try to see them as much as you can and, if they are not, try to at least call them a couple of times a week. You will be glad you did and so will they. Always live like there is no tomorrow because there just might not be and you will be able to live a life with very few regrets.

Talk to y'all later. I'm gonna call my parents. Bye y'all!!!
