Back to Reality

Not too long ago a friend I went to school with posted a status saying "Pre Season training starts tomorrow, back to reality". He is also a professional athlete who plays in the National Rugby League. As I read this status it made me wonder what reality really is. I'm guessing he believes reality is heading back to his job and his time to party is over. For me, reality is when I have to get on a plane back home after spending a season of Minor League Baseball in America. That is reality, having to go home and not get to play baseball everyday. As far as I'm concerned, no matter how tough it is, how long the season may be, playing baseball is the dream, and heading home is reality.
