I've had an incredible life with a lot of triumphs, my share of heartbreak, and some pretty amazing experiences.
I got to travel a lot and meet amazing people. That was a lot of fun.
Everything that has happened to me has been amazing and surprising.
Football was much, much more than I hoped it would be. If I dreamed as a kid, I could never have foreseen such amazing things.
Everyone has a story. I don't believer anyone can go through life without encountering at least one amazing thing.
I've had a couple of pinch-me moments.
I don't own designer clothes, or a sports car, or a huge house, but I am seeing the world, experiencing amazing things, and I have become an environmental campaigner.
I've had a very interesting career. I get to do amazing things and work with amazing people and travel and learn languages - things most people don't get the opportunity to do.
There were a lot of surreal, amazing moments during my career that I'm very lucky to have had.
All this stuff is so mind-blowing to me that I get to do in my life. Throwing the first pitch out at the White Sox game on a random Wednesday? Like who am I? How did I get this life? I'm glad I'm not jaded, and little kids are the least jaded people in the entire world, so it's fun to be around people that still find wonder in how cool things are.
When you're a little girl, living your dreams, even tiny little stages in someone's backyard are amazing.
Life is the most spectacular show on earth.
When you're old, everything you do is sort of a miracle.
The quest for stability or homeostasis is silly. We should accept that we live on an incredibly dynamic planet in a rapidly changing environment, and do our best to have the most amazing experiences we can.
Write in recollection and amazement for yourself.
It definitely is something that can get frustrating, because you want to live life on your own terms, and it feels for a while like you can't. But I've come to understand that I got to have all these amazing experiences that other people don't have. So this is the trade-off.
