Through many years, I've been focusing on the pitch and the outcome of whether or not I actually hit the ball to make it on base. I've realized that it's more about watching the movements the pitcher makes to throw each particular pitch. Will she curve her wrist, smack her glove to scare me, or throw a ball? If I can see what she does as she throws each pitch, I can be better be prepared for that brief moment when the ball reaches the batter's box. The outcome is now the result of my observances and my reaction to each of the pitcher's movement. I'm in control and I choose how I want the game to end.

Another Rainy Day

Why am I so shy around you?...The other day it rained and I thought about this song because of how peaceful this song is to me.  Not only does the rain have a strange way of calming me down, but it makes my inner thoughts really profound.  I think about the past and the present.  I think of how my life has changed in so many ways, good and bad.  This particular day it rained, I had no umbrella.  It didn't bother me, but it just made my mind wander blissfully.  It's remarkable how the rain, for me, can heal a broken heart and provide an escape that only the person experiencing it can feel.  It used to be about being with a significant other and wanting to stay indoors with the sound of rain, but that is only for relaxation.  I needed a blessing and this was an unusual gift that I've been given by God.  Am I taking this "rain" to a differnt level? I can't answer that, I can only answer for myself. 

Life is about acting passionately about something and being happy.  Everything happens for a reason and I know that if I continue to be positive, the only direction I can go is forward.  Sometimes we as humans believe our decisions are wrong, but I no longer think that way.  Every decision is because we have a gut feeling for it.  I know. I experienced it not too long ago.  So far, I am content with it and am looking forward for each and everyday, which gets me into "Why am I so shy around you?"  This woman Corrine Bailey Rays sings about a beautiful innocense of love for someone.  It's the feeling when you first meet this special person who is lovely inside and out.  It's when you smile at the sound of their name, get so nervous when knowing you will see them, and get so anxious for the next time to see them again.  Love for someone else alone cannot make your life, it has to be about you, but it can be quite a journey and have a positive impact on it.  This person who randomly stepped into your life is there for a reason. 

The only question for some is, do they know how you feel about them?  Are the feelings mutual?  Love is a strange thing that happens through a deeper connection than similarities and looks.  It's that "gut feeling," and only you can know what's right.
