Another few busy weeks have passed in the Northwest as the spring quickly takes full hold of the region. Gorgeous blooming trees and flowers are out as the sun has peeked out a few times and we are starting to have a few warm days here and there. We had such an amazing summer last year in terms of weather, I hope we have some of the same luck for this season with chances to get out and enjoy all the region has to offer. The sports seasons continue to march along. Soccer I would rate "OK" as we have hit a rough spot with the team with some tough games, not our best play, and personality conflicts. I am trying to take a new attitude to the rest of the season to end on a high note. The men's indoor league has ended well, we have our last weekend for this round next Sunday and we go in with a a comfortable lead, we will win the league once again no matter the outcome. Really a nice way to end as we stepped up our game quite a bit I thought. The coed 6's ended with a 3-game loss in the finals of our tournament. We played just fine and the other team played what I consider their best match of the league season, hats off to them. We still had a blast with our group and I would not change our line-up at all. We also had a successful regional men's indoor tournament that was well received and had some great play for all involved. My team finished 3rd (our seemingly favorite spot) but played great all day in my opinion. On a personal note this was perhaps one of my best attitude days in years for a whole day. No blow-ups to speak of, anger was almost non-existent and just was a positive experience. It really feels good to be able to go into an event focused on my attitude for the day a to be able to maintain that for the whole day win or lose. The move has been great for me and Janelle and love our new space as we continue to make it our own. I think we are almost ready to event host someone over to check out the new duds and show off what we have. I am really looking forward to it. A quite week coming up with no Wednesday soccer, Thursday v-ball, so a clean slate for the evenings, looking to get lots of other stuff off of my list.
