Stepping Stones

A wonderful day for me. I worked at home uninterupted from early morning to mid afternoon on various blogging activities and reading posts from some of my favourite bloggers. I had a lovely lunch with my mom (93 years young) and then off to my tennis club where I participated in a coaching clinic by a pro from the Ontario Tennis Association.

The heat outside was smokin at about 32 degrees but I managed to hang in and thoroughly enjoyed the great coaching from the OTA rep Dave Lea. It was so encouraging and empowering to receive advice and modeling on both appropriate tennis instruction and how to improve your own particular game.

I feel that I receive a similiar level of modeling, energy, encouragement and insight when I read the writers on my blogroll (and others that I discover). After my tennis clinic, Dave had a great closing comment. He gave recognition to Fathers Day and to Role Models Day and spoke about how he valued fathers and others who took time to be with their children or with those they care for. I thought his sentiments where very appropriate and I appreciated his sincerity.

Here’s to you fellow fathers and role models!
