Thread: so far its good

I have to credit my wife with putting things in perspective for me. When I was working, after our boys got in their teens and did not demand so much of our attention I dusted off my golf clubs and started playing golf again. One Saturday after a particularly bad round I came home in a bad mood and proceeded to mess up her day. She told me in no uncertain terms that, first she never objected when I spent the morning playing golf, and second, I was never going to make a living playing golf, so if I could not find a way to just enjoy the opportunity to be able to do things like golf and enjoy the fellowship of friends then I needed to find something else to do, because she was not going to put up with me coming home in a foul mood and snapping at everyone.
I thought about it and realized she was 100% correct and I've tried to change how I react to things like a bad golf round, a fishless fishing trip or my favorite team not playing well. Sure has made life a little more pleasurable when I learned to take things for what they were and not make a big deal over things that really did not matter in the bigger scheme of life.
I don't always succeed but I seldom get upset over stuff that really doesn't matter all that much. If I did I would probably give up fishing instead of just enjoying being out in God's great world.

That game got ugly in a hurry. It was a great half of football and then the Tigers stayed in the locker room for the second half. No offense at all lead to a gassed defense and Gurley put on a dang clinic. Those other backs are good too! Chub ran over about 6 players on his way to the end zone and he's a dang true freshman.
