That's a wrap!

Baseball, great American pastime.  
Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet.
Take me out to the ball game...
So many iconic sayings and songs about the game of baseball make it seem like the greatest thing ever.
Tonight, it was for the Rays.
Put one in the win column!
It was a great gift to end out the season for Alex...and for his wears-her-heart-on-her-sleeve mom.
Every mom should like to see her son play well, enjoy what he's doing, and succeed individually and as a team.  Success doesn't mean they win every game, but that they learn something as they play and perform better than when they began.
Long, difficult seasons do not always bring out the best in people.  On the ball field or off.
May God give us all an extra measure of grace and compassion through the difficult seasons in our lives.  We all have them.  We all have a chance to finish strong.  We all have a choice on how to react to the unfairness in life.
Tonight, I choose to celebrate the win...while trying to forget learn from the rest.  :)

#TransformationTuesday

My health journey to where I am today began back in 2010. It is amazing that things do not happen accidentally, even if they seem to in the beginning. Actually, as the pieces of my story have come together, this story begins w

home of the Braves

As a metro Atlanta resident, it seems almost a requirement to go to a Braves game to continue living here.  I grew up watching baseball and loving the game...and have been to a few games in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Detroit...and of course, Atlanta.  The problem for me going to a Braves game is purely mental...having been a Mets and Cardinals fan for years, I just haven't the love necessary for the Braves to call me a fan. However, as with many things in life that I haven't particularly enjoyed over the years, my boys make it so worth my time and heart.  I go watch the Braves because I love my boys...and my boys and I love baseball.  Well, they love what they know of the game...still in training, but getting the hang of the lingo and SOP's of a baseball fan rather well. There are a few things that remain the same from stadium to stadium..."the wave" (Braves' attendees do not always get into this, which is very disappointing), organ music to lead you to yell &q
