Softball is many things. Today, softball is not caring.
It’s cold outside. The wind slaps me in the face making my nose cry.
I don’t care.
It’s muddy. I sink and slosh and splash. I can barely find a smooth surface. My pants are destroyed.
I don’t care.
I’m wearing more layers than I can count. I’m a marshmallow walking.
I don’t care.
I don’t care if it’s cold, because today is the first day of softball tryouts. I don’t care if it’s muddy, because I get to be around the sport I love. I don’t care if I’m layered, because I get to see 40 girls who love the game as much as I do, all together in one place.
I don’t care, because I have softball.
Softball is many things. Today, softball is not caring.

You’d think that “I don’t care” would be bad, but from your point of view, it’s fantastic.
I love this post! Short and sweet and hits the target with perfection!

I wonder what else is ‘not caring’. Hmmm. I hope we all have something this would apply to.
