Did you have any doubt in your minds I would be rooting for the Giants?
The funny thing is I had 3 Patriots fans over and I was sure the Giants would loose. So, when they made that touchdown with 35 seconds to spare, I was amazed and I still had my doubts. When Brady painfully passed that ball down the feild during those last 35 seconds I actually believed one of his receivers would catch it and bring it home. But the Giants wanted that win so bad. They knocked the ball out of fingertip reach with each pass. It wasn't a huge victory points-wise but it was a sweet victory to watch my team who has had a hard time pulling themselves together over the past few years to take down an undefeated team; to be the last team the Pats had to play and to be THE team to take them down from their perfect year.
I am not all hearltess. I did see the disapointment in those Pats' eyes and I felt for them. They worked hard all year long for perfection. How difficult it must have been to fight and put so much into the whole year and only one game away from a perfect season, to beat the record, to a team they had already defeated once. I'm sorry for the loss but I do rejoyce with my fellow New Yawkas.
I am thankful too that my life's success does not rely on the stress of perfection. I do set bars for myself but give myself grace when I don't reach it but continue to work towards attaining my goals. My "success" is not derived from a perfect season or a Hale Mary pass or to catch that Hale Mary to make the touchdown. If I had to be the one who caught the ball, I would be scared to tears and run away with all those big guys in pads running after me. My life is as simple as just living as God leads and letting the details fall where they may and keep doing what I can to keep up with life, but the stress of perfection is slowly disapearing.
I used to be a Corporate Ladder
climber. I had no college education but I was good at thinking on my feet and learning quickly and I worked my way up into positions and promotions. I am a good bookkeeper and still have not gone to college for it. My life experience alone has brought me to my position. The reality of making mistakes is very possible, but I learn from my mistakes so I don't do them again and I forgive myself for making mistakes because after all, I am only human. This year I may not get the big super bowl bonus but I always have next year.
Today I enjoy my family who at this moment are all sleeping peacefully in their beds.
Good Night.
