An Amazing Week of Firsts . . . and it is only Monday!

So, here's how this week of firsts started out:

First TIME EVER for me to watch, much less CARE about. an AZ Cardinals game! I'm not a "naysayer" as Beth would say, but I just haven't ever cared to care about the cursed, losing team that they were before! What fun is it to root for a losing team? I've been there enough times with the Suns, sad to say!! (I mean no disrespect . . . they are still MY Phoenix Suns!!)

Then, FIRST TIME EVER that the AZ Cardinals are going to the SUPERBOWL!!! WOOT WOOT!! That's exciting stuff! And, for a few minutes, yesterday, it was snowing in Glendale!! Yes, the "snow" was red and white confetti, and it WAS fed from a machine, but it was very much falling like a heavy snow in a blizzard, so humor me! ;)

Then, on Tuesday, for the FIRST TIME EVER, an Afro-American President will be sworn into that important position. He promises to bring change . . . and if it all comes about as he has promised, then that will be another FIRST TIME EVER! LOL I'm just sayin' . . . politicians embellish, regardless of party, creed, race or religion. They can't help themselves! And we MUST keep our sense of humor, people!!

Yet, I digress from the point . . . I am truly proud of the voters of this country, because it wasn't too many years ago that this miracle would have NEVER happened. Let's hope that over looking skin color can serve to unite us in purpose, God's purpose, for this country. No ONE MAN should run a country according to his heart's desire; that is why our system is set up the way it is!

I'm hoping for a LOT more "FIRST TIME EVER"s for our country! If you have any questions as to what I mean, you can check out Garth Brook's song, We Shall Be Free. (I'm sorry, but I am not net-savvy enough to look it up on YouTube, and link it!) But that is the message I am hoping that we can adapt, embrace and share!

Oh, and last little (tongue in cheek) FIRST TIME EVER . . . I actually wanted to have today off, in honor of Civil Rights Day, but it wasn't an option! Boo hoo, poor me, right??? LOL
