LoriAnn's Cafe: Batter Up!

Batter Up!

My father sent me the following email with regard to my writing. He knows how much I enjoy my craft and that I'd love to do nothing more then to continue to broaden and sharpen my skills, and just saturate myself in writing all day long. I printed out his email and taped it to my wall as a reminder to stay in the game, and, that someone very special is cheering me on. Thanks, Dad!

Remember, the game is never over until the last out is made. As long as you can continue to step up to the plate you have a chance of scoring a home run. Kick the dust off your shoes and take another swing.

I have season tickets, so I'll always be at the game.

Hugs and Kisses
Dad
