We Have Each Other

Hi folks!

Sunshine Mama is feeling a little sad right now. I was really hoping I could write this post with some exciting news about how Brett Farve took the Minnesota Vikings to the Superbowl.

But I can't.

Wow. It may take me a few days to quit being so sad about this game. You know...I was really caught up into it. I mean...I felt like my very life was hanging on each play. First, they would get ahead with a good throw... then, my heart would plummet with a turnover...back and forth and back and forth like that.

You know what I mean?

And then, with seven seconds left in the game...Brett Farve throws an interception. He makes a move that a veteran quarterback should never make. But he made it nonetheless.

Of course there were other lost opportunities throughout the game that culminated to the interception...and then to the overtime.

I was just so wanting to see Brett Farve go to the Superbowl.

But, you know what? It's a good thing this isn't a life and death situation. It's a football game after all. The rest of us who aren't Colts and Saints fans will continue on with their lives and do the things that need to be done.

It's a good thing my happiness doesn't hinge on the Vikings going to the Superbowl. This is probably why it's a good thing to have balance in one's life. I have our children, my husband, my family, my health, God and supportive blogger friends. Ha, ha of course I was going to add that in.

Where am I going with this post?

I'm not sure.

I guess I just wanted to let you all know that I appreciate you guys is all.

Win or lose a few pounds...we still have each other.
