My life theme……

I have to admit that I have a real special fondness for this poem. I’d never heard it before, but based on my kickboxing/batting practice regimen to expel the stresses and disappointments of life? This makes me smile.

Some come from ahead and some come from behind.
But I’ve bought a big bat. I’m all ready you see.
Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!”
Some come from ahead and some come from behind.
But I’ve bought a big bat. I’m all ready you see.
Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!”
