I mused with Caitlin that in agreeing to coach the volleyball teams, I gave up three things I enjoyed doing for one thing that isn't always enjoyable. No more playing Scrabble with the old ladies at the retirement home, no more honing my culinary skills and no more WOW.
Was this a fair trade? I want to say yes but I'm not so sure tonight. Was this for respect? I had more as a trainer on our National Team. For fun? I'm not perverse enough to enjoy coddling or yelling at people. For appreciation? I seem to be unfazed by both griefing and words of thanks nowadays.
I came, I saw, I conquered. But instead of feeling full, I feel empty. Perhaps there is nothing to give anymore.
