A Little Frustration...

Along this tennis path I have been so fortunate to meet many people who have assisted my endeavors. For that I am very grateful. Of course, there are also those who try very hard to block my road to success and set up pitfalls so often that I argue they actually enjoy said attempts and do so simply as a result of their own failures.

Shame on them...

They will come to know that they have misjudged my strength and they will never be able to impede my mission.

"Sometimes when things seem like they are falling apart, they are actually falling into place."
