~:[CH8 - Day 327]:~ Only Reasons to Celebrate
The alarm went off at 3:45am on the first day of "break." We all sacrificed this day in order to celebrate a historic day in our program. No matter how we did today, there would be only reasons to celebrate, yet later we would find there were even more reasons to celebrate. From moving up in our projected placement to a new school record, even with missing one of our top athletes, we had another historic day. It was a little sad to break down the canopy for the last time and to have this group together for the last time, but there were no tears, only joy. Reasons to celebrate were aplenty and it wasn't limited to just this day. This was a season to celebrate. From the athletes to the staff to the parents, the ohana shined. There were rough patches, but with those patches we found growth and more reasons to celebrate; we found rodents, but also reasons to laugh later on, we also found injuries and emergencies, but also found more reasons to cherish our moments together. There will never be a season that is "perfect," but that is exactly why we should celebrate. We cannot always traveled down a paved road, but that is what makes us learn and grow, but also makes our successes an even greater reason to celebrate. As we closed our season, I talked about how we need to start working on next season, as we never know what tomorrow will bring. Returning our top seven on both sides, you would expect our season to be just as successful, but you can never assume that. Never assume that the precious moments, but also the "common" moments, will be there tomorrow. Appreciate the great successes, but also the daily interactions, as all those are things we should appreciate, but also things we should celebrate. Today we celebrated history with an amazing young group of women, however, the season gave us a million other reasons to celebrate.
