Gratitude

Tonight, Good Wolf had its first season-celebrating team barbecue.

It was our first non-racing team event. Heck, we’ve only had a few official team workouts.

What a special moment.

When I first embarked upon the Good Wolf adventure, I pursued it as a passion project. I didn’t expect it would blossom in the way we have so far.

Athletes proposed the idea for a barbecue themselves. Scott volunteered to host it. And so I cut a pre-planned trip to Arizona short so I could be there.

The team also proposed —OK, maybe demanded— that we create team kits for next season. And we’re doing that too (coming soon!).

Sometimes, we’re presented with the opportunity to be more than we thought possible. Whether it’s at work, or on the track, in the classroom, or at home even. Behind that opportunity, there lies someone, or in this case several people, who believes we can be more.

It’s up to us to read those signs even if they’re not overt. And more important, to do something about it.

Answer that call. Those moments can be scary. Will you fail? Possibly?

But you might succeed too! And when you do, it’s the best feeling in the world knowing that it’s partially because other people see something special in you that you may not yet see in yourself.

Many thanks to our blossoming Good Wolf family. I’m the definition of gratitude tonight.
