Yep....tomorrow is opening day at Moody's Miracle League!
The Miracle League is a baseball organization for individuals with special needs. We are all winners! Everyone gets a homerun and all games end in a tie. Baseball as it was meant to be....FUN!
I look forward to ball season at Miracle Field One all year long. No where else on earth do I experience unconditional love in it's purest form! It didn't matter what crap I had going on at the office. It didn't matter what crap was going on at home. I know that I could step out on that field and the people are genuinely happy to see me. Tomorrow, I know that they will all embrace me, and I will truly be loved. Not for any material things I can buy them, or what I can do to cater to their whims, or because I'm shelling out money. They really love me, just for being there.
Tomorrow I will begin my ninth season with this organization.
Wanna be blessed beyond measure? Check out a Miracle League near you. Trust me, if you only volunteer once and you will be hooked for life.
I leave you will a little something for the weekend
Confession time: I'm a 50-something Alabama girl,with big city ideas just lucky enough to be raised in a small town. Why "Just Joy"? When I was a kid, people always tried to call me Joyce and I'd respond "No, it's JUST JOY." I've been known as that ever since! (Just Joy for over 40 years now...take that fake "just joy's") Mother of 3: my oldest daughter "Julz",my boy, "Tigger", and my baby-girl, "Kit-Kat". I'm a blue-eyed, Baptist, baton-twirler who still enjoys a good "dress up vacation" and occassionally comes home with a crown souvenir.
My heart bleeds orange & blue ~War Eagle! I work for a coffee company. I've wanted to be a writer since I was about 10 years old, but looks like this is as close as I'm ever going to get. This is my point of view, regardless of how slanted it may be. My motto for life I stole from Gene Simmons: "Any day above ground is a good day."
~~~~~~~~~ REMEMBER:
"As long as you know me, there will be JOY in your life."~~~~~En-JOY
