Victory Monday for Pat's fans. I ALWAYS rock one of my Patriots tees the day after a game. It's like a tradition of sorts, if you can carry a tradition alone lol. The rest of my family are Cowboys fans so I'm literally alone with this one. I get new Pat's gear every year in August and September and then various times during the year. You can usually always spot some good Pat's gear at random times living in New England unless you're a bandwagon fan and try to get one like the day before the Super Bowl aka the Patriots Invitational. I could go a few weeks and just wear Pat's tshirts everyday. I definitely have enough for that but I'm going to continue my tradition lol. This definitely feels like another Super Bowl year so we'll see what's up come February but I'm fairly confident. We just got one of the best WRs to ever play so I'm hopeful it works out even if only for this year. Definitely getting out to a couple of games. The Cowboys play here this year so going with my Dad and brothers to watch their team lose would be awesome and then maybe if I can save enough pennies, I can go to a playoff game. Ok, I'm done. I'm just glad that football is back that's all
Just letting you know now that this wil be posted on Tuesday and not Monday. Hope everyone had a great weekend along with a good start to the week. Mine was a super busy one and it pretty much is just getting ramped up as far as weekends go. Not a bad thing at all though. Actually as I'm writing this my Dad is leaving the hospital and going home (insert church shouting gif) lol!! He's doing much better than he was this time last week. Way better. Still got some things happening but at least he's well enough to be home. Also still asking for prayers from everyone who's prayers don't get sent straight to the spam folder please and thank you.
So last week into this one I've been doing some studying and thinking a lot about the condition of the heart and how it's such a fragile thing. When you think about it, it doesn't really take a whole lot for our hearts to become altered or maybe contaminated to a lesser degree. What I mean is how our experiences change our perspective on things. It can be a good thing but also if we're not careful it can be a bad thing. The human experience is just funny like that. I feel like everyone has a motive for everything. There are intentions behind everything that we do. I've sort of come to grips with the fact that most times in dealing with people, they don't just do things for no reason. I always keep in mind that everybody gets used but they also use and being used isn't necessarily a bad thing. Good and bad intentions have levels to them and they depend totally upon the place the person's heart is in at the time. I actually don't mind being useful so it doesn't bother me much. As a matter of fact, I'm cool with the fact that I'm going to be used by some because opportunities are opportunities and even in situations where it may not be mutually advantageous, I just enjoy being a help. Gotta walk that line extra careful of course but for the most part, it is what it is. Anyhow, think for a minute about the way you view things. Like specifically one thing that you have a hard opinion about. Now think about why you feel that way. Most likely it's because of your experiences. You feel strongly and in some cases you cannot be convinced otherwise that it's not the way that you think is. I hate potato salad. I hate it. I've only really tried it one time but that time was my last ever. Now before you revolk my black card, just hear me out. I already am apprehensive about eating food when I don't like what it looks like. The presentation matters. I tried to be open minded and tried this lady's potato salad at a cookout one time and it was awful... I mean gawd awful. It tasted like when Jesus turned that water into wine except this time he just turned food into trash. From a positive perspective, it would have made great garbage. I'm telling you, nothing is worse than you already thinking something isn't gonna be good and then the food far outweighs your expectations. I could say something else but I ain't gon do it lol. Suffice it to say that the potato salad was terrible. That was all the confirmation I needed and I will never...EVER, eat potato salad or ANYTHING that looks like it again. Now, there are some, maybe ALL of you who will read this and say I'm crazy and that I haven't tried your Aunty's potato salad (bcuz it's definitely an Aunty dish lol) and I would totally change my mind if I tried hers but fam... just save your breath. It's never happening. No potato salad shall ever again touch these lips. If you ever THINK that you see me eating potato salad, run for you freaking life because body snatchers are taking over the earth. I PROMISE (Jagged Edge voice) LOL!!! Now, as stupid as stupid as all that probably sounds, I really believe it and stand by it. I could be wrong but it doesn't matter because of my experience, I believe what I believe. My point is that based on the condition of our hearts we can be missing out on something great because of bad past experiences and less than desired results. Just because we feel strongly about something does not make us right about it, neither should it validate us in our wrongness. We can be victims or the ones on the bad end of a situation but that doesn't give us permanent permission to have jaded views of things. Some things are being smart. You don't want something to happen again so you stay away but other times you separate the good from the bad, learn what you can from both, become wiser, better and move on. Obviously this is easier said than done and I am definitely not exempt from any of it but there are therapists in the world for a reason, there's such a word as healing for a reason, and personally... I learned to depend on God for a reason. Just something to think about as we move forward in life. Having an understanding of your heart and not just your emotions leads to peace that isn't temporary. Still working on it!!! Hope this helps someone. See you guys tomorrow!!
