the definition of confidence


Carli Lloyd came to play.

Five minutes into the game she scored her second goal on the biggest stage, in the biggest game she would ever play and she did it with strength as if she caused it to happen.

You could feel the energy emulating from the field.

Then, from mid-field - - -  GOAL!!!!!!

"That", is confidence.

Three goals in the first 16 minutes of the Women's World Cup. I'd say she wanted it.

B-12


I know this feeling, this feeling of elation/confidence and happiness will pass, it always does. 

But for now, I'm going to take it. 

I am going to live it while I can. 

In a weird way I feel like I found myself again. 

I was lost (but now i'm found).

Sometimes this lost/found thing is a daily struggle (kinda like my keys)

But I want to tell you why I'm found a bit more today - - 

PEOPLE

Reading Matthew Quick's latest book - Love May Fail

And a visit from my friend Mark

Mark did not impart any advice - no, he just shared his life concerns/happiness's and struggles. They were not to far off from mine. 

In the end. It's all good. 

I have found a bit of my B-12 again

I have been singing and playing Marley's "Three Little Birds" for about two months now. I will probably continue to do that, but that coupled with a tad of endurance and knowing I am not alone in my struggles has changed the game for today and isn't that all we really have, today?
