Another softball season ...........

There are two more games left of softball season. Sadly enough, I am quite sure this is my last year on my team. This year the team kind of fell apart. My favorite teammate(and appearantly the glue of our team) went out for back surgery, a couple people quit, some new faces showed up and the whole spirit of the team went to hell. I do not like the new people and they have basically taken the team as their own as if the rest of us havn't been here for years.
My friend and I have decided to stick together and find a new team next year. We are softball buddies and I can't imagine playing without him.
You might think it is only a softball team, what's the big deal. Well, for me , playing softball on this team brought some life back to me after I was on my own. It was the first thing I did to bring myself out of my despair. I made new friends and learned how to have fun again.
But, it is time to move on.. and find a new team.
It's weird how sometimes things or people come into your life, bring you what you need, and then you move on. I used to have a real problem with that, but now I accept it.
So, next year I hope to find a fun team to join with my friend and continue to play a sport that I love. Because no matter what happens in my life, softball will always bring me joy.
