What about that SuperBowl game?! I enjoyed watching both teams play throughout the season. My brother-in-law used to say he “married the wrong sister” because I am such an avid football fan and my younger sister, bless her sweet heart, didn’t yet have a clue. Having kids in junior sports sure changes things.

When players appeared before the game, one of them wearing red/white made a face towards the camera. At first glance, I thought the Patriots were the guys in those uniforms. In all my intuitive confidence, I told my hubby-buddy, “See? They’re going to lose because their heads aren’t in the game. It’s the SuperBowl! Why are they playing around? That’s it. The Giants are winning this.”

Well, as my spouse and the rest of the world already knew, the Giants were “those other guys.” So now I’m looking at their victory and thinking back to the intense faces of the darker uniformed team as they entered the field. You’d think seeing Tom Brady would give me a clue, but hey, I’m entitled to the occasional “duh” moment so we’ll just blame it on that for now okay, friends?
After the fact, I re-considered that camera clowning face again. Maybe there was more to that when you viewed it from a mindset point of view. Going in, the Giants were the David of old meeting an undefeated Goliath. Up against a “perfect season,” they had to lay it all on the line. Maybe the coach’s secret was to encourage them to be proud of getting this far, play hard like there’s no tomorrow, believe in themselves, and most importantly… just have fun! That’s a lesson I think I’ll keep.
I love seeing all your beautiful faces, icons and comments! Thanks for visiting. If you like what I’m blogging about, I’d appreciate you sharing information about my blog with your friends.
