We will get back to talking about our stories tomorrow but today I want to talk about Brett Farve.
I read a newspaper column yesterday where two analysts on ESPN were talking about the hits Brett Farve took in the game. If you saw the game..you not only saw them...but you could have started to feel them. Whatever you think about the guy...he is amazing.
I love the guy. He plays with a passion that he wears on his face for the world to see. He has a passion that is undeniable. Yes...it appears he has jerked the Packers around but if you have EVER been jerked around by an employer...or even believed you have been...ya have to have an understanding for what he has done.
Now back to the column...the two analysts..Ron Jaworski and Jon Gruden were rating the beating he took. Jon said it was in the 7 to 8 range and Gruden rated the beating at 9.8. I am sure Brett would have rated it even higher.
There is something about having confirmation of what you have been through. I have no doubt that Brett knew he was hit...hit hard...hit high...hit low. He has the bruises to prove it and a wife who winced through every moment with him. Yet outside confirmation...from someone with some distance from you can feel good.
That's where we have a common bond. I know the hits I have taken. The high hits...the low hits...very hard hits.
Here is where we are connected. Besides both looking great in purple :) ! I recently had outside confirmation of what I have been through and that felt wonderful. I had my astrology chart done...by a very talented and gifted woman. I think charts are a tool you can use to help light the way..and I am open to any tool that I can access.
When I met with her to review my chart the first thing she said was that she was surprised that I was still alive after everything I had been through. She welcomed me back to the light. I have to say it was like another cloud parted.
I felt affirmation for what I had been through. I took the hits. I felt each and every one of them until I could not feel them anymore. To have someone "see" that from the outside and have an appreciation for my ability to get back up...was a gift.
It's like having one of those ESPN analyst saying the hits I took were 13.5 on a scale of 10. Affirmation...it can be good for the soul.
Heh..Brett and I have another thing in common...we both got back up. Maybe a bit slow..but we got back up and that may be our strongest bond yet.
And did I mention that we both look good in purple...
