Give Me Five

I wish that I could say I shot 500 shots for the PLB Shooting Challenge this week. But I didn’t. I wish I could say I washed at least some of the dirty clothes piled around my house. But I didn’t. (Just ask my husband) I wish I could say I cleaned the bathroom. But I’m guessing by now you know the answer… I didn’t. But I did get to hit the basketball court with a bunch of kids. What could be better than high-fiving a 5 year old who sunk his first basket. To see his eyes open wide, for a split second, shocked that the ball actually went in. His mouth open into a wide smile, cheeks raised high, as he looked around unsure of what to do. “Give me a high-five man!” I said, reaching my palm out so he could slap it. Basketball and kids…a perfect combination! The chores can wait…
