I can finally take pleasure in bowling.....
« on: January 15, 2004, 09:13:51 AM »
All,

For the past few years I wasn't able to take pleasure in bowling.  It didn't matter if I shot below average, average or above average.  I felt nothing was good enough.  I would shoot 700 and be somewhat unsatisfied about how the night went.  As some of you know I shot 300/821 on December 30th.  I have been striving hard towards that goal for years and was beginning to feel it wasn't going to happen.  I have seen numerous 300's shot during those years by people who weren't very good just very lucky.  

I shot 706 Tuesday and felt satisfied with that for the first time since I was in YABA.  That weight lifted off my back has helped me enormously.  Did anyone else feel this way??  I am still trying to better myself and test my true ability.

Bones, I am not a real goal oriented person.  Yes, I had a goal to shot 300 and 800.  I didn't set a goal to do it this year.  Now I am satisfied knowing that I have something many others do not.  I guess if I had a goal now it would to do it again.  I don't care if it is higher or lower just another 800 would be wonderful.  

Thanks for the words of wisdom.
