11. Basketball Bliss

Basketball was always a part of my life in high school. Summer ball and school ball. It never had an off season. I never though I would miss it...Do I miss it now? That is a very good question.

"Basketball is not just a sport, it's a lifestyle."

I had the opportunity to watch my sister play in her first game of her Junior season of basketball. It was the first high school game she had not played with me on the court. Was it so fun for me to watch? Absolutely. I wouldn't change it for the world. Did it make me miss playing more than I can express in words? Absolutely.

My sister and I are two years apart. Play the same sports. Are relatively the same height. Needless to say we were always competing with each other. I'm not going to lie it was often a hard situation to be in. However since I've been away at college, I've truly begun to realize how much I enjoyed the opportunities we had together. They were some good times. Coming home to watch her and my old team play was such a blessing and an eye opening experience for me. I truly realized what I am missing in my life and now I guess I will just get to see where that will take me.
