I'm sorry y'all...I just needed to vent and I really didn't think anyone actually read this space any more. I am fine now. I want you all to know that I did pray and I found the answers I needed when I wasn't even really looking for them. Please don't think Steve did anything horrible. he didn't, he just didn't behave the way I wanted and it took me a little while to realise and to admit that some of the problem was actualy with me and not with him not caring enough about me.

 

He and I are good and we are both happpier. I will reply to emails when I can.

 

Thanks you guys.

 

 

So the other night it was my hockey presentation. it was just held at a local pub so we had dinner before hand and hired out a function room. I was sitting with the 4th grade players as they are great and really the only ones who came for the whole thing. So we chated for a while and then the formalities started. My mum was coach of fourth grade and she went first. There were various thank yous, including one to me as both official umpire and helper at training...I was bought a gift voucher for a place called Godess for a pamper session which was really lovely. Next was third grade (only 4 people showed up) and then was second grade. Two trophies were given out...one for players player and one for most consistent. My coach started to wrap up and then he started looking in my direction a lot. Now it was like he was only talking to me since he was looking at me so much. I even had people turn and give me funny looks. Now it turns out that out of everyone in Second grade, I was given the most points so i got best and fairest out of everyone. I was stunned and blushing. So I walk up and suddenly Chris says..."Not only was she voted best and fairest, but she also is receiving the highest goal scorer in second grade." Wow...how crazy. But exciting.

 

It's nice to feel appreciated. I know it's easier to look back on a situation and say that you didn't need to get an award to make it worth while, but I really wasn't expecting any of it. I think too often thank yous are ignored or they are said in such an apathetic way that it loses meaning. Sometimes it's said too much and that is sad.

 

I challenge you all to really put meanings into your thank yous. Make sure that people know how much you appreciate what they have done for you, even if it's one of those situations where it was just the thought that counted. At least someone thought about you.

 

Well this was supposed to be posted almost a month ago but spaces was being a poo.
