SterioDesign Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 So life coaches will tell you that it's a good exercise every morning to reflect / think about something you're grateful for. When you focus on something you're grateful for it's really hard to be sad and angry. So how 'bout we all try to be proactive and all say something we're grateful for BEFORE the game lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT, I hate the fact we rarely see that good-on-paper team as it was constructed cause we'd rather bench certain players and put blind faith in others.... welp, that didn't work....

So how 'bout we all try to be proactive and all say something we're grateful for BEFORE the game lol I'm thankful that regardless of the results, and no matter how frustrating those results can be and often have been in recent years, that I have my daughter with me most of the time. When she was born (hell, BEFORE that), I knew that I would be doing this with her one day, taking her to games, watching at home...and I knew it would be something that would be more "just us". I can't lie; it didn't turn out quite the way that I imagined it would over 11 years ago...somehow it's been even BETTER. Even with the shutouts, some of the more brutal losses, some (OK, many) seasons gone horribly wrong...I've enjoyed every minute spent with her taking in the Devils, and I wouldn't trade those moments for anything. I used to think StarDew was almost batsh!t crazy when she would talk about how much fun she would have going to see the Devils in the early 80s, when those teams were obviously a rotten watch. Obviously I'd much rather see a competitive team that has a real chance to do some damage...and I don't want to make it sound like I've given up on 2019-2020, because I haven't...I'm still hopeful. But if StarDew built some lasting moments with some young ones (or anyone she was close to) during those very lean-on-the-ice years, then I now know what she was talking about. And can relate.

I'm thankful for the friends I've made here and met in person, like CR and MD. I'm thankful for mfitz for nearly singlehandedly keeping this forum busy in the summer months. I'm thankful for SD who triggers me worse than heartburn after a burrito, but who's been getting into bimonthly fights with me for almost a decade but hasn't let it go far enough where we put eachother on ignore. And I'm thankful for DM, for giving us an online home for our chaotic, absurd, oftentimes pathetic arguments that keep me checking the forum in a time where online message boards are dying and the hockey team it represents is hideously doing the same. Notes taken, I won't think about the actual team when I need to do this mornings of game days. I'll think of the board. Excellent modelling behavior MB, thank you!
