Through many years, I've been focusing on the pitch and the outcome of whether or not I actually hit the ball to make it on base. I've realized that it's more about watching the movements the pitcher makes to throw each particular pitch. Will she curve her wrist, smack her glove to scare me, or throw a ball? If I can see what she does as she throws each pitch, I can be better be prepared for that brief moment when the ball reaches the batter's box. The outcome is now the result of my observances and my reaction to each of the pitcher's movement. I'm in control and I choose how I want the game to end.

Not so much "The End"


There's a book that I continuously want to read, but I had to return it to the library.  The pages are damaged as it's been mistreated many times.  The librarians put a hard cover on it to protect the inside pages, but that makes it much harder to find the novel that's inside.  For almost a year, I've only had to the chance to read the first couple of chapters before a librarian tells me to return it.  Now with it's hard cover, I can't seem to find it and hides between all of the other books.  This time, it's been misplaced and I'll never be able to read past what I've already read.  The story never really finishes and I'm left painfully guessing what would have happened if I had finished the story.  It will take time to forget about it and move on to another story, but as of now I'll have to continue roaming the library restless and hopeless.
