Enjoying The Good Times
This Guy, Billy Butler, has been tearing it up as of late. It’s really great to see as he seems to be a really nice guy. And my nephew really looks up to him.
Cody and I were discussing Billy’s recent success at the plate on the way to the deer lease today. The thing, to me, about his success in the past month is that you can really see him enjoying it and just having a good time. You see him smiling all the time- at the plate, at his post on first base, or in the dugout. I kinda think his “luck” as of lately has surprised him and his face really seemed to show that when he hit a home run Friday. (This is how great he’s been- I just turned to Cody to clarify which day was the home run. . . he says it was Friday because yesterday he “just” hit three doubles.)
As we talked and I thought about how much he was enjoying himself out there on teh field, I thought about how much of our lives we don’t enjoy- or take the time to enjoy- especially the good times. How often do we really appreciate the good times? So often we’re looking over our shoulder, want something more, or expect something bad.
Thinking about the way Billy is playing and how he seems to be handling it, I realized that I want to take the time enjoy life and smile more.
