It’s football season yet again. The fighting Irish and all the rest… High school, college and pro teams… Are going to duke it out on the field com rain, snow, sun or whatever weather; and we will fill the stands with our support for our favorite teams. Grizzard, a sports writer and humorist, reminds us that the fight is everywhere for us to win, including in our own lives. Tackle the problems, block the fear, and score whenever we have the opportunity.
Myself, I’ve had ample opportunity to do all three of late. Funny, how some persons I know seem to be skating along just fine, as if it were intermission in the stands; yet I, and many others like me, are living the tackle/block/score end of life. for the day. This is our time to be “in the game”… We are not spectators. We are living the field version. There is no time to feel sorry for ourselves if the score is lop-sided against us, we’re in the game… We are players! And, like all good football players,we must keep our head in the game.
What’s your day like today? Is it a spectator’s day, or are you a player? Are there things happening that draw you to listen to the coach, or are you in the middle of play, for both are important. Here’s hoping you score today, and maybe ever big! Either way, I’m here to encourage you!
May it be a fabulous game!
Best…
