Hockey Joy

It has been quite the week, and all day I was prepared to write a blog post about how horrible it has been.  I could blog about the fact my husband is out of town for another week!  I could blog that he always seems to be gone for the dreaded garbage day!  Maybe I would write about how flipping-cold it is in Canada (go figure)!



As I  was taking out the garbage in the freezing cold, because my husband is on yet another boy's road trip, I envisioned making pictures like this...

But then I came inside and <clicked> on the For The Love Of Blogs site!

There it was! They were asking people to BE JOYFUL, and here I am complaining that I had to take out the trash.  Complaining that it is cold in February, in CANADA!  Complaining that my husband was out of town for one whole week (not a year or more...like many solidiers)!  I knew I had to refocus my energy and stop my complaining!

I needed a photo that made me joyful...and I knew exactly what that photo was!

This picture was taken when we first returned to our summer home after a hockey season.  My daughter was so anxious to go in the lake, that she took off her clothes and went for an evening swim.

 The Hockey Life is like an evening swim in the lake...sometimes it is cold, but it is always rewarding!
