Getting better and better while our life moves ahead…

Niki played tennis in a tournament on Friday and Saturday.  She may not have come away with any trophies, but she did a great job!  She was exhausted, playing in 94 degree heat for 2 hours and it was so good for her to continue playing and doing her best under less than comfortable circumstances.  […]
