Here's to a great 2008 with lots of hits, double plays, spectacular catches in the outfield, fast throwdowns to 2nd base, throwing the heat, nailing that curveball, and beating the throw on the steal!
More importantly, here's to continuing to have an awesome relationship with your baseball son and your family - that's what's important in life. So many times we get caught up in the dramas of baseball that we forget about the lessons that baseball is teaching us - humility, team work, life isn't always fair, joy, patience, hard work can pay off, and others.
Do you have any thoughts (the ups and downs of 2007) on the past year you'd like to share? Any resolutions you'd like to pass on?
One of my resolutions - being extra thankful every day for my family and letting them know (sometimes hard to remember with teenage boys and monitoring conflicts between them and their dad!).
Have a safe New Year's Eve!

Peace be with you and yours.
My father, who loved baseball, died at a young age and several years before I had children. How he would have loved to see my son on the baseball field! We take so much for granted in this world. I have decided to make this my new year's resolution - I will appreciate all things in my life more. I have been very blessed in so many ways.
