Curveballs—Life’s Reality Check
Earlier this week I was uncharacteristically mesmerized by a sports article. Phil Mickelson, a highly accomplished professional golfer, was thrown a proverbial curve ball of bad luck just before he attempted to make a putt. The green was clean and unhampered as he carefully connected with the golf ball, just before it was to head into the hole, a very small errant leaf blew onto the green landing directly in the balls path—causing just enough of a diversion that Mickelson missed an easy shot. The pictures in the article tell the whole story. Some call it a freak stroke of bad luck. I call it Life’s Reality Check.
