This is Mommy?

Thirty or so years ago, my most important posession was my serve.  Aces and becoming more precise in service was my consuming passion.  It seems so minute now, with husband and children to concern me. 
Years after Highschool, I went back and told the athletes that there was one thing that I took from school that I use every single day and that is the service.   The whistle blows in life and you say "I do" and the referee is counting every service, ace and fault.  It is certainly not as easy as serving 15 aces in a row to win the game.  It is more delicate, but it does boil down to the service and the teamwork.   I hope that you are learning to serve well.   I hope that you will understand the metaphor.
