The simple things

Fourteen degrees, ten o clock, we gather outside some of us bundled up, some of us in shorts. We are armed with brooms wrapped in tape, we are wearing shoes and ratty old pennies, we are playing on a large patch of flattened down slick snow. The ball is dropped and the game starts, all at once we are screaming, cheering playing are hardest. We are dedicated to this last minute event we planned, fully invested in it. For three 12 minute periods nothing matters, nothing but broom-ball. The game is high energy and we take it seriously, for many of us it was our first time, but we look like a well oiled machine, goal after goal, dog pile after dog pile, we only see broom-ball, we only worry about broom-ball, we have complete guilt free fun. This is what the world needs, stress relief. If people would slow down take an hour out of their days and just do, invest their mind, in something fun, high energy, I feel like people would be happier. It is free, I am not saying everyone needs to go out and play broom-ball. The just need to free their minds for a bit. I have been stressing out so much lately but for an hour all I thought about was how Heretofore needed to be the broom-ball champions. I am so relaxed and content right now, it is not even funny. Not to mention, Heretofore is currently undefeated, I scored twice, once a penalty shot, and have another game Thursday.
