Day 75 Joy playing tennis with my son.

Earlier today my son asked me if we could play tennis today.  He explained it is the perfect weather for it, not too cold or hot!  After dinner tonight, I opened the door slightly to his room where he was playing and said, how about some tennis?  His face lit up and he jumped up at the opportunity.  He used my first racket I had used in high school, while I used my favorite.  I told him I couldn't promise, as I didn't know if the one set of courts in town would be open, but sure enough, they were not only open, but to my surprise recently repaved!  I played tennis for the first time with him once last summer, as he had found my high school trophy and was so excited to learn about my past.  This evening, again, it was a surreal feeling to play a games I spent all four years of my high school playing and quite a few before...with my own son across the court from me this time.  His smile, enthusiasm, how could it not fill me with joy.
