Is it normal to come crashing back to Earth after an enormous high of a weekend?

I am overwhelmed this morning.  Time change and no rest, back to work today.  Feeling a little low today.  Got a lot to do and need some energy in the tank.

But focusing on the positive.  I am overwhelmed also in a good way.  I am so proud of, and impressed by, my wife.  She organized so much for two retreats over the last two weekends.  She organized chaperones, rides, food, and answered a ton of questions along the way.  She provided leadership while on the retreat.

But, what I am most proud of was her shining moment during the retreat.  In front of a ton of parents, a crowded room of about 50 kids, and a bunch of coaches, she delivered a heartfelt speech.  One that made me and my father both tear up.  It was about my grandfather, and about how proud he would be of me and my father, and how proud she is to be part of the Kennedy family.

Although I was completely outshined by my wife on this night, I think I did well closing the evening as well.  This has always been something that I have not paid attention to plan well during the retreat.  One particular aspect, but an important one.  Well on this week, I think Marcia, Dad, and I all did well in this moment, and it wrapped up a good retreat.

I must say that I am also very impressed with our developing coaching staff.  I was especially impressed with Steve Overbay, Brian Gross and Grant Pivec this weekend.  And as always, Sean!

Today, I am back to Earth, with more mountains to climb.  Tired, and miles to go before I sleep.  Miles to go before I sleep.

Get cracking, COACH!!
