Thursday afternoon I went golfing in Mesquite, Nev. and had probably the most fun I've ever had on the links. I went with some co-workers that I really enjoy, and the weather was absolutely perfect.
The first two holes were unbelievably unsuccessful, but I still had a lot of fun. I think I tallied 19 strokes between the two holes, but I loved every minute of it because it I didn't really care how poorly I played. I was just happy to be on the beautiful course with good friends.
The next three holes were weird, though, because I was 1-over-par (bogey, par, par) through the three holes and was centimeters away from sinking back-to-back birdies. Although I was happy to play well then, I found that I was much more frustrated on those three holes than on the previous two that I absolutely tanked.
I think that happens to us too much in life. When things are absolutely horrible, we find a way to have a better perspective and find joy in the truly lovely things in life. When things are going our way we tend to get mad at the littlest things. I think we should all try to shoot below par, but enjoy the course no matter what.

These are some of my thoughts that I think sometimes. Although I don't blog much.
