We were behind, and that forces things to happen. It either makes things better or makes it a little worse, and it made it a little worse tonight.

Our goal this year was to get a home playoff game as a young team. We?re playing well, and we still have a chance at that.

We gave them a pretty good go. We had trouble with (Megan) Jackson. She played a great game and we had trouble finding her from out of bounds. She?s a tough player. She?s a good player.

We thought it was must-win. (Keene) has to win two games to go beyond us now. This win could move us four spots in the standings. Getting closer to that .500 notch is big. We?re doing what we need to do.

At the close of the day when the hamlet is still, and mortals the sweets of forgetfulness prove, when naught but the torrent is heard on the hill, and naught but the nightingale's song in the grove.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.
