Watched a couple movies today, actually. It was just the right kind of day for it; dark, cold, wet…and oh so sleepy and cozy inside. But what we just finished was Kelce, about Jason Kelce of the Eagles. Very sweet doc. Highly recommend. It was about many things. One that stuck with me was his considering retiring, his body breaking down, and wondering where else in his life is he going to the best at what he does?
Klay Thompson is going through that right now. He got benched in the fourth quarter of our win tonight against the Nets, and he was very frank and vulnerable with the media afterwards in the locker room. “To go from one of the best players…” he said before trailing off and shaking his head. “It’s hard for anyone.”
It’s just a reminder that the top doesn’t last forever. Neither does the bottom. Nothing lasts forever. So, we need to be grateful while it’s here. I need to be grateful while it’s here. While I’m here.
Night night. Joy is curled up on my lap under the covers tonight. She’s telling me it’s time for sleep, and she’s the boss, so. Night.
