Motivation

February is over and it is still cold. For some unknown reason when March 1st hits I think it should be warm and springy. And of course it isn't. It never is -- so I don't know from where I get this notion that March 1st should be any different than February 28. Softball season is right around the corner, however, and practice has begun- in a gym. Coaching twelve adolescent girls was not on my "Bucket List", but yet here I am, passing on to the next generation a lifetime of hard earned knowledge of a sport that I love like no other. I do not like practicing indoors, not as a youthful athlete nor as a coach. I loved being outside and active when I was younger. Where did that go? I still like being outside when the weather warms up but the active part of me isn't so much. Where did the motivation go? That is a good question, a very good question. Forty isn't so old. I need to find that motivation.
