Happy National Pickleball Day!

National Pickleball Day is celebrated each year on August 8th.  It is dedicated to celebrating the sport and its growing community. My husband and I now begin most mornings playing pickleball.  We were fortunate to find nearby courts and some folks willing to show us the basics.  After that, we became hooked on this popular sport.

We’ve seen many examples of kindness on the pickleball court. While playing doubles with people we had never met, I’ve observed the great number of positive comments, even when a ball goes far from where it was intended. And when winning a challenging volley, the accolades make you feel like you won a million dollars. It’s also about people sharing a kind word to opponents.  That’s what makes the game fun, and the world just a little bit better place to be.
