Teamwork

As the 174th day of 2019 comes to a close, I am sitting here reflecting on all of the weekend's games that I observed.  I umpired two 8,9, 10 year old softball games in Pennsauken and umpired two 8, 9, 10 year old baseball games in Oaklyn.  I also helped coach Alexa's GSA softball team (sadly, Alexa was away) in their first round playoff double-header sweep!  And, also in Oaklyn, we assembled a team of volunteers to help in the Oaklyn Snack Stand in support of the games there.  I enjoyed watching the teams playing the games, I enjoyed being a part of the four umpiring teams at the games, and I appreciated the teams of volunteers who helped in the stand.  And, tonight, I really enjoyed watching the Mustangs, without four key players and only the minimum 9 players, defeat their opponent in the First Round of the GSA Playoffs.  Tonight, my gratitude flows for teamwotk tonight.  Teamwork makes the dream work!

A Night with No Plans

The evening of the 59th day was a unicorn.  After work on 2/28/19, we actually had nothing planned.  Anna and Sarah went to the gym, Alexa went out with friends, and I chilled at home.  Tonight, I am thankful for this brief respite (I know it will ramp right back up real soon).  Goodnight!

Being a Father

6/16/2019 is Father's Day.  And I spent the 166th day of 2019 doing things with my family.  Church, clothes shopping (I did need new (and smaller, thank goodness) clothes), naps, Disney Movies on TV, a GREAT dinner (mmmm lasagna by Sarah), and then more catching up on TV with the family.  I am so blessed that, on 4/2/2002, I was made a father.  Being a father has pretty much defined me since that day.  I am so grateful for being a father, as well as being thankful for those who have advised me and taught me and have helped me become a better father.  This, of course, includes my fathers and grandfathers, who have been shining examples to me, but also for all of those other people in my life who have been models and mentors, my mom, other relatives, my wife, friends, etc.  So, to all who have been in my life in regard to my parenting, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!  (and thank you!)

More Numbers

Today, 11/24/19, is Day #328 of 2019.  As with most Sundays, after Church, I counted, with my counter colleagues, the offering that was collected.  So, on day 328, the Loose Offering was $27 and the total cash was $273.  I know it might sound geeky, but this is where my gratitude lies today.  I love that these are more numbers to make me happy.  And I am glad that a simple set of numbers can start my day off in a good manner.
