the corridor of life


Life seems to me like an endless corridor of doors and gateways of opportunity. With each passing segment we can learn and grow or just pass through. Our men's tennis team's season gave me the opportunity to reflect on this last weekend. We started out as a bunch of ragamuffins early in the year, each match saw us grow and come together until we won our USTA League. Again at State Championships it was the same as we fought our way through. Then on to Indy for the Midwest Regionals. A very high level of competition but we adjusted, and went undefeated as we learned and passed through that corridor and seized the opportunity. We also learned a lot about each other. Now the next gateway awaits this team of young pups and old grizzlies at the National Championships in Tucson AZ. How many corridors are left? Just like life's many passages we all hope that exit sign at he end is a bit further out there.
