It's a phrase used amongst fathers everywhere. Teaching their sons and daughters the joys of baseball, softball, or anything that involves a ball for that matter. But as we get older, it has nothing to do with a ball at all. (Hey, that rhymed!) The ball becomes a metaphor. It represents all the tangibles and intangibles we are striving for - the better job, the better body, the better boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, or husband, the better house, the better car, the better life. So maybe you're saying to yourself, "So what? I like to keep my eye on the ball." Well to you I say, forget about the ball. The ball is not important. Today is important. Love the ones you're with today. Appreciate what you have today.
I know, my last two posts have been really deep. My moon must be in retrograde or something! I promise my next post will be ridiculously undeep. :-)
