I had a lesson that I was trying to teach come back to me.  Yesterday I went to both of Cortney's softball games.  They ended up winning both, but only with the final play of the game in the the inning.  The first game had the other team being the home team batting last and starting the inning down a couple of runs.  Things did not go well for our Lakers and the other team scored and was down by only one run with a runner on third when the game ended on a pop up to the first base 'person'.  I told Cortney that she needed to enjoy such a situation because that's the kind of deal you practice for.  Then in the 2nd game our team was the home team and it still came down to the last at bat.  The score was tied and Cortney had drawn a walk and was sacrificed to 2nd base.  With two outs her teammate hit the ball to the 'grass' and Cortney scored from 2nd base to end the game.  I told her basically the same thing after that game: to have fun in the pressure.  I found myself in a similar circumstance looking at my work and situation and feeling pressure about what needed to happen for me.  My own words to Cortney came rushing back to me.  What I would teach her was teaching me.  It is a humbling thing to realize that a lesson you try to teach to someone else is just what you need yourself.  I have tried this morning as I evaluate, plan and go forward into this new day to practice what I preached.  I'm happy that it went well for my grand daughter and I know that it will go well for me.  I just have to put the fretting away and learn how to enjoy the moment even though it might not be the circumstance that I would have ordered.
