Regional Tournament Day 2 : Five Things to Say

I have five things to say  :

  1. I’m physically and emotionally exhausted.
  2. When I say You are aiming at the sand it means You Are Aiming At The Sand !
  3. I feel bad that Rob thought I might not be enjoying myself because he asked me about 5 times out there if I was.
  4. I am extraordinarily touched and grateful that he said he was enjoying himself out there walking with me.
  5. We really have no business playing Regional tournaments (even if we did not come last), but I guess if we can we will, and will aim to do so peacefully and happy for the greater good of all.

Max presented me with this quote by Thich Nhat Hanh after the round which I needed to read to put it all into perspective :

Our notions about happiness entrap us.  We forget that they are just ideas.  Our idea of happiness can prevent us from actually being happy.  We fail to see the opportunity for joy that is right in front of us when we are caught in a belief that happiness should take a particular form.
