Goal: To improve my tennis game
Yesterday I had my first private tennis lesson. It was so great! I can’t believe how much I have learned in 30 minutes!
One of the things I found out is that I have been playing with a kid’s racket. Well, at least I hope it is true and that the instructor was not just trying to sell me a racket by telling me that I needed a new one.
Tonight I have the group lesson for 1 hour. I am hoping it will be even better than last night. I hope the rain holds off so I can actually have the lesson.
I am also hoping to make friends to play tennis with. As with anything you try to learn in life, practice makes it perfect or at least much better. Similar to many things in life, tennis is one of those activities that you need a partner to be able to play. So that has been one of my challenges lately: finding partners.
I have also signed on a tennis site called http://tennisopolis.com/. It is a Tennis Social Network site. I have actually met and played with one person there, but our schedules haven’t worked out to play again – like I have said before, everyone is so busy nowadays.
It feels great to be working on my goals! And it feels even better to be moving in the right direction!
If you have a goal or something that you have always wanted to learn, do or start, the moment to do it is NOW. Not tomorrow, not Monday, not next week, not when you find a friend to motivate you, etc, etc. The moment is Now!
So what goal are you going to start working on?
Blessed with a Star on the Forehead

Tennis is a very good looking sport. I remember how great Ali Macgraw looked playing it in Good Bye Columbus. Her little skirts made me want to take lessons too. Learning something new is a wonderful thing. It moves the mundane out of the way. Happy for you.

lol. You are so right! As I was putting on my little white skirt yesterday I thought to myself: there is no way I would get away with wearing a skirt this short other than to play tennis. If felt good and I had more spring in my step. Thank you!

I love tennis! My backhand needs some serious work though. And I like wearing the cute white skirts to play in also =P

I guess the skirts are one of the best things about it. My entire game needs work 😦

Hi,
I haven’t played tennis in a very long time. But I used to enjoy going to tennis every Wednesday night with friends, ahh the good old days. 😆

Perhaps it is time to get back to it? It is a great sport for the body, mind and also to make friends.

I watch with interest to see how your game improves and your social network expands.

I hope it will expand, but then something happens (as described in my post today), that makes me think that being a loner is not so bad after all. Thank you for following!
