With inspiration from my dear sister-in-law, Rachel, I embark on this adventure - capturing an image every day for a year both to have for myself and to share with you. My hope is that through this effort, I will "keep peace in the noisy confusion of life" - taking time to notice the small things, celebrate the big things, and more fully appreciate the gift of each new day. Of course, I had every intention of beginning this on January 1st - but when that day came and went without a blog, Rachel assured me that this project can begin on any day. After a slow start, I really hope I can pull it off - and that you'll enjoy it!

Day 113 - May 1: The Game Ball

It's the bottom of the 6th (final) inning.  The score is tied, 2-2.  There's one out and the bases are loaded.  Stuart Whitla approaches the plate.  He's struck out once and been hit by the ball - the crowd is hungry for a hit.  The first pitch is high and inside - Whitla is nearly hit again.  The second pitch is high but he swings.  The ball sails over the centerfielder's head for a solid double.  Three runners score.  The Dodger dugout clears out and tackles Whitla at second base.  The crowd goes wild.  After the game, Stuart Whitla is awarded the game ball.  His parents gush.
