Tennis-LOVE=0
We are a tennis-playing family now. Eric bought breast cancer tennis rackets and balls for the girls; they are so cute? Eric and Brian are the only "good" players. Eric played on the Highschool Tennis team, and I always made fun of him UNTIL .... tonight. It's a fun sport but a lot more of a workout than I thought it would be. Eric has a killer serve; Brian can keep up with him. He's outstanding also.
I'm 48 years old and just now trying a new sport. Tennis is something I have always wanted to play until tonight. I never knew any rules and understood the whole LOVE thing in the scoring, but now I do.

Life is so short, don't wait until you are 48 to try something new, do it now, take that trip you've always wanted to, run that marathon now, learn to do anything you've never done before; it will amaze you what you can accomplish..... I stink at Tennis, but I don't care; it was so fun, and I will do it again soon.

When I was 4 I wanted tap dance shoes so badly....I cried and cried because my mom didn't see the dream with me....when I was 47 I bought my own tap shoes and danced with the senior citizens....no recitals, no mirrors...just fun....I had to go back to teaching at the end of the summer...and they had to go back to retirement...but we had such fun that summer....Just last week I was at a Chinese restaurant...my fortune read, "Just because you put tap shoes on an elephant doesn't mean it can dance.".....I laughed, and laughed...Oh, yah, I danced all one summer...and it was wonderful! (by the way....I loved that movie....that line still makes me laugh)
It's never too late! You can be anything you want to be. Isn't that fabulous!
I LOVE Tennis and I'm so glad you're taking it up.
