It reflects plenty in my life, and I like it that way. Yup, sometimes success is winning. More often, in my life, success is learning new things, acquiring new skills, loving and being loved, and having fun. My daughter's soccer team (made up of a group of friends) has lost every game this season, against mostly travel teams playing in the rec leagues for reasons unknown. But they are coming off the field smiling and teams with the highest score are coming off scowling because they let one or two in or didn't beat our girls by as much as their closest rivals did. I know which girl I'm glad I'm taking home.
