Remember the conversation that Dave and I had about doing things in our lives that made us happy that we don't do any more? Well Dave's "thing" is playing sports. Sadly he realizes that he is getting older and unfortunately the joints just don't work quite like they used to and so as much as he would love to start playing softball again he has traded his cleats in for a different kind of cleat...golf! He also loves to play golf. Some of the guys from work go out on a regular basis and they invited him to join them. He has had so much fun. It is nice to see him getting out as well as seeing him get some "boy" time which he is always complaining that he doesn't get. This is where I make a confession of my own. As I look back on my life and not very often do I wish I had given my biological father more of a chance, but he was very much into bowling and golf and tried to teach my sister and I and we wouldn't have anything to do with it. I know hind sight is always 20/20 but I wish I had been more open to learning the game of golf as learning this sport and a desire to learn to play has popped up more than once in my life. Looking back I can appreciate the fact that he was trying to broaden our horizons outside of gymnastics and as I have grown up I wish that I had been more involved in other sports most especially in high school. Thank goodness we don't have to live in the past all the time and the Lord continually provides opportunities for us to keep on learning! Dave not only wants golf to be something that he does to make him happy but would like it to be something that we do together and I agree! So this is where Christmas in July comes in...we went and bought me some golf clubs so that I can start on my golfing journey finally! And what better time to learn to play than when it is 110 degrees outside and all the courses have cheaper rates! They call this golfing from hell...I'm hoping to just keep the reference to the heat and not my lack of abilities at the moment!
