One Swing at a Time...

One Swing at a Time...

It's been a long winter, me waiting for the spring, for the warmth to come back to this part of the world and for the golf gods to make it possible for playing and practicing outside. Today, it seems like maybe, just maybe, it's just around the bend. While I was walking Smokey Gutt, I felt warmth of the sun on my face and with it the hope for a new start, another chance to be lucky enough to play golf again. I have been putting in the work, hours upon hours of practice, both putting and swing. I have tried to stretch and mold the old body as much as I can and am trying my best to eat what I know is best for me. Taking it one day, one swing at a time and trying to use the power of the rules of attraction to set the table correctly. 

Sweden is the place it will happen this season and the next two after that. Going to make a serious run at the 2020 European Senior Tour. Getting back to playing competitive golf again, something I have not done since college really, being able to focus on just me and my game. I can feel the desire to do the work necessary to get where I need to be and I have done just about everything in my power this winter to lay down a good base. I could have worked more on my own body, yes, but it has been a give and take in regards to the practice needed, the swinging of the club, the putting of the ball that has gotten the majority of the time I have. I know that getting my golfing legs under me is all about getting out there and playing, walking the courses and playing more. Nothing else really gets one in golf shape better than playing the game. Funny how basketball is much the same and that my thoughts go there now. 

In a month and one or two days I'll be starting the competitive season, making the road trips and throwing my hat into the ring. I am assuming that the golf courses around where I live now are going to open soon and that I'll have some weeks to get in some on course practice. It's definitively needed and something I am of course chomping at the bit to get started, 

I'll be posting regularly through out the season with pictures and the like in regards to each tournament I play, the days of practice and thoughts about attracting the success I know lives within me. I hope that all my readers are doing good in their lives around the globe and I hope you all send a positive thought my way...all the positive thoughts generated are key...thanks for following along my adventure...peace, love and lots of birdies 😉😊🏁

Finding ones place, fitting in and grey matter...

Here is a cool guy that does just that, anywhere we go, no matter what, he's finding his place and fitting in...Smokey Gutt, one of a kind Whippet and cuddler galor. Never seen anything like it really, he's a wonderful example of how a creation can just be himself in all situations and with almost any person or group. He just is, and he is almost perfect if you ask me and I love him more and more each day. Four and a half years old he is and just as adorable as the first time I saw him. It's hard sometimes because I want to spoil him with affection but know that being his Alfa, well, it's just that I have to keep a little distance each day so that he continues to feel safe in his place and knows the boundaries that are there for his benefit. But don't you readers, for one second feel sorry for him, he gets tons of affection and is rather good at saying that which he needs it. Everyday. He will come right up and just take it and it's impossible to resist. What an amazing creature he is and how lucky I am to have him. Hope he feels a little bit the same. 😊 Wish he could talk, what a conversation I think. 

For us humans it's a bit more complicated I know. Finding our place and fitting in, within this crazy world it isn't always the easiest of things to accomplish. We second guess ourselves, have expectations that we maybe don't understand fully and sometimes we just make mistakes in judgement. Sometimes I think we get in our own way, think to much and misjudge ourselves and the ones around us. We over complicate and our brains get in the way. Why is that I wonder? Why is the grey matter getting in the way sometimes and screwing things up in certain situations? Wouldn't it be great to be able to be like Smokey Gutt and just fit in, almost no matter what and is it even possible for us humans? Is it possible to get out of our own way and just be? Let the situations that we face in our daily lives be something that we don't put to much emphasis on? There are so many days that are somewhat similar and they have a tendency to fall into the category of the byline of normality existence do they not? It's a nice thought, trying to make each day the best possible - to get something special out of each one, but is it possible? I don't really know but I believe so. Truly, I do and I try to do just that. 

Even though I try each and everday, I understand that it's not easy, but feeling like one has found his or her place in this sometimes screwed up place called earth and feeling like one fitts in is a big start in making each day count the best as humanly possible. Being able to live without the grey matter getting to much in our physical way is just so important, and I know that feeling like when it does from time to time and learning to feel exactly that it is happening is something I've had to use time to understand and deal with as best as I can. It's never easy but the rewards can be huge. Good luck to all my readers with finding your place, fitting in and not letting thr grey matter get to much in your way. 👊😉💪🏁
