A through line for my life, trying to catch the ball.

Playing catch, tennis ball, then baseball, then football, and basketball.

Especially baseball and football. Never played organized baseball, but loved playing catch with my dad.

Then football. I often played catch with my buddy, the quarterback for our team when we both played high school football.

Over and over. I dropped my fair share. But I also got better over time.

That image is a good metaphor for life. I’ve made plenty of mistakes in my life. At work. In relationships. All of it.

But ya gotta keep playing catch. Ya gotta keep working to get better.

And over time, you will.

Keep playing catch.
