We love the holiday season. It’s the time of year when we get to fill each moment with the things we love while reflecting on all we’re thankful for. The last couple of weeks have passed by in a blur of activity, of family, friends, Thanksgiving, and, of course, football. It’s hard to imagine all that has come and gone in the short span of a couple of weeks.
The Greatest Kid On The Planet played his last football game of the season. And it was an epic one at that, a game we will never forget. The season came to an end with a well deserved and fought for run for the championship. It was an amazing adventure with an amazing group of people that ended with a second-place medal for The Greatest Kid and his teammates. The disappointment of not coming home with the big win was overshadowed by the excitement of the entire event, the immeasurable pride we feel for a team that overcame numerous challenges during a difficult season, and, most of all, the immense love we feel for the people we shared all of those moments with.
It was a season of great accomplishment for a tremendous group of boys, numerous personal victories for The Greatest Kid, and one we will always remember. But as we look back on all we experienced during the last few months, it’s the friendships, both new and enduring, which we know will continue throughout the ever-changing seasons that we are thankful for the most.
I’ve often heard it said that an attitude of gratitude is the best gift you can give yourself, and I believe this is true. I believe the Universe brings us what we wish for, and that when we give thanks for all we have and for the people around us, we are, in fact, asking the Universe to bestow upon us more of the same.
