Teddy Roosevelt Said So...

Ok - as the evening "draws" to a close tonight - wanted to post up a quick note. We won one and lost one today, but totally reaffirmed how much we love playing with each other as we experienced the super highs of a win and a bit of the lows of a defeat. You can tell how much we care about each other because we are so tough on ourselves and want to be great for each other even more than we want to be great for ourselves. I am constantly amazed by how lucky we are to have found each other to form this great team. I am so proud to be a Bond Girl.

We're back on the ice for one game tomorrow at Noon eastern time where we are going to have a "Bond Girls blast" out there on the ice and put up another win on the board.

This quote is dedicated to the team - I've always really liked it. Teddy Roosevelt said it....

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
