I was truly upset when I was cut from that soccer team. Even though I KNEW I wasn't good enough to be on a premier team, I was still upset. I thought about the whole soccer thing, did I really want it or did I want it because I thought I should do it? But then I realized that I wanted it for me, something to call my own. Something to be part of. So I sent out a bunch of emails to some contacts and I am happy to report that I have found a team! Again. But this is the real thing. I have my card, I'm registered and I have my name on the team roster! I swear that was the most exciting thing! My name, on a team roster. I went to practice with my new team and I just felt so strong, powerful and alive! I ran, I sweated, I kicked, I rolled my ankle and got right back up again. I loved every second of it. It felt right. I can't believe it took me this long to discover sports.
Everyone needs something to belong to, and I hope I have found my place. (Aside from my adoring husband and wonderful kids) Something that is just for me. I can't wait to have my family watch me from the sidelines and cheer me on. And an added bonus...soccer socks go up so high, I never have to worry if I've shaved!!
