Great day...and a great cause!

I just got home from playing in my first tennis tournament.   It as a Net Benefit to support our local cancer center resource center.  A new tennis friend and I played doubles and we won our division!   It was a very friendly low stress tournament, but was a great start to competitive tennis for me.

I felt grateful...to be on court... to be running for great shots down the alley...and feeling STRONG.  I am continually amazed at our ability to heal...and am thankful my  VERY IMPERFECT body and my LIFE.  I have learned to really slow down and cherish those moments....as they happen.  Not cherishing the victory, but the ability to play.   It was fun to be a SURVIVOR playing in a cancer charity tournament.  Thanks to all those that participated and earned so much for such a great cause!

Hi lady Limbo! I really enjoy reading your blog. The ups and downs and everything you are doing. Tennis, Zumba, family, all of it! Which FD2 are you attending this year? I MAY be going to the second week of July FD2.
Love and hugs, Hot Rod
