Courting Comfort

My son is back at Excel in Basketball Camp. This week, the camp's theme is: Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable.




Quiz: What do you see in this picture?

Look closer.



A flower blooms where it should probably die. And yet, it looks ... comfortable.




You idiot, you say, that's no flower. It's a weed.

Weed or flower, I don't care. I am jealous.

Challenges are everywhere. I face them as parent, spouse, writer, even friend. And that's just at home.

Discomfort is easy.



Get comfortable, I tell myself. Or ... risk losing more than a game.
