Well it was last year at this time that I was considering having surgery on my right ankle. I eventually did, and a loose piece of cartilage about the size of a penny was removed. It was like new money.
Yesterday, my good ankle, one I can only remember spraining once was injured. Going to the left I made a pass as I jumped into the air landed on my left foot cleanly and was hit hard from behind. I felt something pop, and now 24 hours later it looks pretty nasty.
I'll be 39 this year. I love playing basketball. I can still compete with the young guys even if I'm 20 pounds overweight and need 30 minutes to warm up. I wonder when it will click inside of me that I'm too old for it. Honestly, I can't imagine the day of not being able to run up and down the floor, but sadly those days are numbered.
If something really popped then the time might be now.
Seize the day! It might not be the last time you play basketball, but it might be the last time you see a child, kiss your wife, work, drive, walk, see, preach, speak, sing, and the list goes on.
Seize the day! If we have seize the day attitudes I think joy might be a whole lot easier to come by, patience a whole lot easier to practice, and peace a whole lot more available to live in.
Seize the day! It might the last time you...
