There is the phrase, “Dropping the ball.” It means you did not get something done and the day is not a winner. It comes from football and baseball, though different sports. If you throw the ball and your teammate catches it then good things can happen. If they do not catch the ball, lots of chaos can result. The spiritual life is like that. I wake up and God throws me the ball of opportunity to pray, do good for self and others, exercise and so on. But I have to catch the ball of opportunity. A wasted day is most often when I dropped the ball, rather than nothing was thrown my way.
