Zed, the Hockey Player

[przed]

I have somehow, in the last three years, become a hockey player.

Well, it's not a total mystery. I started taking lessons so I could help out with my daughter's team, and then discovered that it was fun. And this year I figured I was good enough after two years of lessons that I'd join our clubs senior women's league.

And being in the league, meant that this year I got my very own hockey picture!




The jersey is wrong, since the week after pictures were taken I got traded. My original team was last in the standings and I was officially the worst player on the team. But I'm getting better! Some of the new women in the learn-to-play classes told me I'm really good (I'm not, but it was nice to hear) and I can now keep up with some of the players who used to regularly leave me in the dust, so yay!

Look at you! How great you're doing something you love, and getting better all the time!

Doing something you love makes it easier to keep at it when the going is tough. (Some day I will manage back crossovers, but it’s probably not going to be this season.)
