Yesterday was one for the ages for me. As a few of you probably know, I am a huge CFL fan. Well yesterday I had a day like no other. Me trying to put into words what an experience it was would not do it justice, so I'll summarize.
It started with a brunch/silent/live auction at the Expo center. The people, the excitement, the entertainment, all over the top. Passion for the team was everywhere, everyone there was there because they love our team. A few times I was on the verge of tears because of the commitment I felt coming off people, absolute pure passion. I needed this. The world is shiny and new again, there is hope out there, I feel renewed.
Then there was the tailgate party before the game. A cherry on top of the best dessert I have had in a long time. People were excited to be there, I was excited to be there. Such a good time, but wait, there is more....
Game time, suffice to say it was a game to be remembered for a long time. Wow!! Yes we won, yes it was exciting, yes the weather was perfect, but the crowd, oh the crowd, it was like it was 2005 all over again. Loud, energetic, even a wave (at least an attempt to get one going)! No it wasn't a sell out but that was the biggest crowd I have seen in a really long time. Gold, pure shiny glowing bright gold.
Anyways, I write about this because of an ideal that was front and center yesterday, passion. That is what I felt yesterday, not just from me but from thousands of other people. Their passion fed my passion, my passion hopefully fed their passion. It was a snowball rolling down a snowy mountain. It started small but grew and grew till it was unstoppable. Again I say, I needed this.
I wake up this morning feeling this passion paint everything around me with it's glorious brush of good. So I'm going to go do some forms, I'm going to see my Mom, I'm going to spend time with Deb and Kody and my pup Bailey, I am going to let this wonderous feeling wash through me and guide me to do good today.
I hope you find a little bit of passion today and enjoy it for everything it is worth.
