Keeping in perspective

TPM, Life is still good.
No complaints, and the sky's not falling.
It should be a good tommorrow.

Every day that you can get up in the morning and your feet hit the floor is a good day---the day that doesn't happen is a bad day

He'll be fine. Hang in there TPM!

No, no, just thinking about what happened this week with the deadly crash and tornado some other things.

Got it. I know what you mean. Got a call from my best friend's wife today that my friend had a stroke. Geez. When is the bad $hit going to end?

justbaseball,

Wow, sorry to hear about your friend. I hope he'll be okay.. I think we all need a big break from the bad news. My prayers to his family.

I posted this last weeked and I think because of some pm's I got that some thought it was because DK had a bad game.

Early last week, it was reported that CU's ss, Stan Widman, would miss a few games due to neck injury, but tests revealed a condition that might end his career. Today I read that Stan will be out for the rest of the season due to a congenital condition that may require neck surgery, however looks good that they think it is not career ending.

Widman, a former Aflac player and top ranked HS prospect out of Hurst Texas, turned down offers from Texas schools to attend CU. Stan started 139 games as ss and was hitting .409 with one home run before pain sidelined him this year.
I first met Stan and family on our recruiting trip. He is one of the most polite and gracious players that I have ever met. DK says he has never seen anyone work harder at his game, sometimes waking at 3-4am to go hit in the batting cage. I really thought that this was Stan's year, hitting early and errorless at his position.

So with that, I think it is important to keep some things in perspective as I mentioned in another thread. It's not if the games are good or bad ones, it's that they get to get up everyday and play them, enjoy everyone one as if it were the last, because sometimes you just don't know when the ride will end.

Well said TPM...I'm glad to hear that DK's teammate, Stan, is on the mend.

Soo very true TPMom,...so very true.

I have to echo this.



TPM, I'm sorry to learn about this player, and I'm glad to know the injury is not career ending.
