I like squash...

I really really like squash.
Not the vegetable.

After the league games we tend to get together with the other team for drinks and snacks. Some of these ladies are pretty cool. So many different backgrounds and personalities, but we have this one thing in common.

The other night one of the retired ladies was talking about how she had a few car accidents of detached tractor trailers hitting her car! And also having an elevator cable snap while she was in it. Talk about bad luck! Injuries and huge setbacks.  Before the accidents she used to be stressed and caught up in the success of her career, having newly graduated and moving up in the ranks. She was so stressed and worried all the time. After the accidents she said she learned to calm down. And to be very appreciative of every moment she has. Also, she said after the accident she was afraid to drive again, she had her bf at the time and her family drive her to places she needed to go. One day they collectively bought her a gift. It was race car driving lessons!!
It was great to hear this story of a part of her life. Sometimes things that you wish never happened or huge obstacles or setbacks can turn out to be blessings in disguise. Life changes for the better.

Anyhow, back to squash. I really really like it. More so lately due to this welcoming and fun environment.
