What does opening day mean to you?
Here'a a thread with a little "poetical waxing....."
in the past year, I've done the following: --moved from Ohio to Florida --broke off a long term relationship, got used to being single, then started dating again --changed jobs 3 times --went through tremendous financial difficulties --adjusted to an entirely new atmosphere, completely different from where I lived at in small town Ohio This opening day feels a little extra special for me this year. Life has been absolutely crazy for me, but on Thursday, for the 3 hours or so that the game is on, it will be a return to normalcy. People, situations, etc come and go, come and go. "Change" is a constant theme on life, but baseball is forever. Watching the Reds means a lot to me, and it's a chance to feel like things are back to normal again, even if it's only for a brief period of time. Overall, I live for those Summer evenings, where I can forget about the stresses of life, and immerse myself in something that brings me a lot of joy. Share your stories about what opening day means to you. |
