- Thoughts from the Road
The benefits of losing
My mom’s hard-working cleaning lady is an interesting woman. Jenny by day and Jenievel Knievel by night, she is a long-time player for one of the Phoenix area flat track roller girl teams. John and I always look forward to hearing about her team, her teammates, and her latest inevitable injury.
Last time we saw her we asked, “How’s the season going this year?” “Oh,” Jenievel said cheerfully, “we’re losing most games.” We told her we were sorry to hear that. “Don’t be. It’s a lot better losing.” Huh?
Jenny went on to explain the benefits of being on a losing team. It’s a lot more fun she told us. The other teams aren’t gunning for us. The refs give us some breaks. We put less pressure on ourselves and we get less pressure from family and friends. And the best part is that we all get to play, not just the star players.
Moral of the story. In life, each of us gets to choose what’s important.

- Thoughts from Others
It’s a beautiful world to see,
Or it’s dismal in every zone.
The thing it must be,
In its gloom or its gleam,
Depends on yourself alone.
