Dog days of winter

OK, it's that slumping time of year when the days are dark, it's cold-cold-cold and too much time is spent bundling up for work or sitting under a blanket on the couch while staring blankly at the TV. Here's my list of gratitude to get things looking up in mid-February.

It's good to have an understanding boss, who has the grace to forgive when you get mouthy and question his decision-making. Whew. I'd like not to have a repeat of my professional meltdown on Tuesday.

Second, I'm grateful to have a sport I love to play - basketball - and a league in which to play it. It still clears my mind, still wipes away (most) all my other worries for the time being. It allows me to be in the moment without struggling to get there. I never feel awkwardly tall. I feel advantageously tall. I don't feel self conscious or a need to try and blend in the background. I love that so many other grown women also feel the passion and competitive edge for the sport.

C'est tout, for now.
