~:[CH10 - Day 277]:~ Weathering the Storm

Our theme for the ohana this year is weathering the storm. I figured the challenges of the past would be something we would need to work through and boy was I right. You can see the challenges that didn't exist before as students and athletes try to adjust back into the classroom. Being about the figure out how to deal with things is something that these students will need to figure out and slowly we are getting there. I feel for them sometimes as I know how difficult it is to get back into the rhythm, but also know, if we loosen the chain too much, we are going to lead to more problems down the road. On our team, that adjustment is slowly happening as I see more and more athletes getting it and while some still have not, that progress is an important factor breaking through. Of course mother nature provided us with another little challenge as lightning turn into rain as we sat in the weight room and enjoyed the beautiful storm overhead. Upon arriving home, I captured even more as I enjoy the lit sky that helped weather this storm a bit more. Life has its storms and every time we come across these storms, we must figure out a way to get through them. In most cases we cannot avoid the storm, thus instead, we must figure out a way to survive it. As the sounds of thunder filled the air, I thought of the "battle" going on in the heavens as the flashes of light filled the sky. As while our days in many moments has been dark, just like the lightning, we need to find that spark that will help propel us forward as we weather another storm.
