A Little Bit of Show and Tell

POINTS

Did you win the Superbowl yesterday?

If so
congratulations!

If not
let’s work on that.
You’ve got an entire year.
Unless of course
you are not eligible
because of your age,
size,
determination
or the fact that you don’t play or like football.

If that’s the case
let’s find you something else to win.
There are plenty of things:
Games
Awards
Lotteries
Hearts
Life

Just pick something
whatever it is
and hurry up and give it a goso that this time next year
the rest of us can cheer you on
and possibly dump beverages on you
because we are so happy
that we can’t control ourselves
and this is the only thing that makes sense to do
in celebration.


-Dallas Clayton


I'm sure Dallas didn't mean for this to be taken literally; but really what a wonderful idea! No matter who you rooted for on Superbowl Sunday, why not celebrate yourself on Monday? So I'm sitting here eating a brownie sundae (with an imaginary candle on top) celebrating all I've done in the last year. I've worked, taught, loved, graduated, traveled, learned, played, saved, failed, tried, succeed, talked, thought, and smiled. And well, if all of that isn't something to celebrate I don't know what is. 


So please, go get the best treat you can imagine, put an imaginary candle on top, and celebrate yourself today too.
