Oh wow. I just had the most wonderful phone call. A kid I used to coach told me he received a 200k scholarship for the rest of his science studies. Called to thank me for the influence I've had in his life, for believing in him, that hard work really does pay off. He was so excited, telling me what the lessons the sport taught him when he was fifteen, how his life started to change at those practices. How I was one of the first people he called tonight.
I matter. I made a difference to this wonderful young man.
I matter, i hung up the phone and am crying thinking this. It has felt like anything but lately.
So there are other reasons to find joy and purpose, our lives reach beyond the marital home.
