Finally I Understand

Overwhelmed by the news stories and sadness people are experiencing in the world. How can I take a break to escape? Maybe that's why Ford named the Escape, Escape. That's how simple life should be. Just get in the car and take a quick drive, a long drive. Sometimes going on vacation feels like work even more than work. Starbucks instead of vacationing? How do we reason our cup of coffee other than needing little daily vacations? Exercise? There we go, that's the right balance.

I open my computer for the daily news update and see a kid on the verge of happy tears holding the Freddie Freeman game winning ball in the stands of the stadium I hold so many fond memories of. I smile in my heart knowing how happy that must have made him. I think of the moment when Freeman celebrated with his dad. My heart smiles again and the light of the memory fills my eyes. 

Finally. I think to myself. Finally we see some happy news. This is why sports and entertainment are so important, I understand.
