Medicine ball, heal thyself

At the risk of being too schmaltzy, today reminded me that tennis really has provided us with the best medicine - wonderful, dear friends.

L and I met up with C and B, two lovely women who we've been friends with since we started playing tennis in Houston about 20 years ago. Until recently, I would play with them just for fun (as opposed to the serious leagues!) on Sunday mornings. Since none of us has been able to play for a while, we decided to meet for lunch and a great chat. Then this evening, it was J's surprise 50th birthday party, being held at the tennis club, with many of our tennis friends. We don't see them as much as we did when we were playing regularly, but when we do meet up, it's as though we just saw them yesterday. 

Both events just brought home to me how fantastic it is to have such a large, fun and supportive group of lovely people in our lives.  Thank you Tennis!
