Still hanging in there? All you ex-athletes who are trying to become something greater. Those who are trying to achieve more after sport. Those essentially starting from the bottom of something totally and completely new. Recently I have realized that my peak age was not 16, or 18, or 22. I refuse to let the … Continue reading Identity Crisis? Part II
Memories
Priorities
In a world where everyone is just sooo busy this seems to be extremely accurate... There are very few people in my life who would meet me for dinner with a couple days' notice and not cancel at the last second. There are even fewer that would drop everything to be there when I desperately need them. … Continue reading Priorities
Quitter
I've been keeping my feet under me lately. I've been working hard, keeping a level head, and going with the always tedious flow. Getting to this point is usually the easy part, but staying here can be difficult for me. I went rollerblading recently and I decided that was a good analogy for my life these … Continue reading Quitter

Does that make me hopeful or just plain stupid? Third, fourth, … Continue reading Second Chances

Normal, upper middle class, hard working, corporate America kind of neighborhood. I was rebelous in high … Continue reading Saying Goodbye
Choose Wisely
It's difficult to remember that we have the ability to make our own decisions about who and what we want in our lives.

As I continue to assess my admittingly unstable yet uneventful life, I … Continue reading Choose Wisely
Beyond Your Destination
I was left a comment on my last post and I pulled this particular phrase out. "I’m very sorry...you are struggling to relate to the real world beyond the foam pit." I was angry when I initially read it, then I wasn't. Maybe they had a point. It led me to post this one about … Continue reading Beyond Your Destination
