You are still that very talented, determined, gifted hockey player. You didn't quit. You didn't get beat. You got sidetracked due to circumstances beyond your control. That doesn't change what you are inside -- the guy that took God's gift and ran with it. You used the gift in the medium of hockey, but all the talent, gifts and instinct you talk about up there doesn't belong to the game of hockey. It's yours. It's in YOU, to apply to whatever you want......You talk of your hey day in hockey as if it were that valuable stone. The stone doesn't have anything to do with it, honey. The game of hockey didn't either. It's what's in the man and what he brought TO the game
This is excellent, Corri. It is essentially what I attempted to communicate to cac a while back, regarding his flying, although you said it better than I did.
IC and cac, hockey and flying didn't define you. You defined them.
IC, may you find a way to express the pent up emotions and pain of your losses.
