As silly as it sounds, I love dodgeball! It's a new-found hobby but I became addicted in the fall when a friend invited my husband and I to play in a recreational dodgeball league! Two seasons later, hubby has picked up night school classes but I am still holding tight to my dodgeball nights.
Here's the scoop: I've been laid off a couple times in the recent years. In fact, the whole time I was pregnant I was unemployed. As an adult I have spent a good chunk of my extra-curricular time doing nothing extra OR curricular - and it shows. I've gained an unflattering amount of weight, I know far too much about TV and I suffered through a stint of post-partum depression. I attribute much of my motherly-energy and positive outlook to dodgeball!
In a life that felt jammed packed, dodgeball has opened a door to Zumba classes, ceramics, evenings out with friends, walks with my husband and countless daytime activities with Zack. We can't wait to get out each and every day! Even when the weather is bad we find something to do around the house (crafts, books, practicing our somersaults) and I have never been busier or happier! I have found strength, energy and drive within myself and I owe it all to dodgeball! Tonight is the first game of our play-offs and although we aren't even in the running to win, I'm very excited - let's go Ball Masters!!
