The 1st day of soccer

The first day of spring soccer is probably one of my favorite days of work. I love it. There is so much work that goes into organizing youth sports. The pay-off happens when I get to see the kids at their games - the games I scheduled, with the friends I made sure they got to play with, in the uniform I ordered for them, and the referees I hired and trained to help them learn the rules. It's very satisfying. Their smiles are priceless! I'm thankful for days like today, which help me to be thankful for my job.
