Happy Training Camp Day

It is amazing how much easier it is to wear a smile on a day like today. If you're an NFL fan, you know exactly what I'm talking about! Today was the first day of training camp for many teams across the league. Of course the only team who mattered to me today where my Super Bowl XLVI Champion New York Football Giants *thunderous roars & applause*. I know, I know on today the slate is wiped cleaned and we all start at 0-0, but my team is the reigning champions which makes them better.

Remember this...

 

Well "tomorrow" has come for most of your teams and I am excited to see & hear reports on the Giants from training camp. Another season is swiftly coming upon us and I am ready for some great NFL action! Good luck to your teams. Here's to no injuries in training camps across the league and much success to my New York Giants on their drive for five! Go Big Blue!!!!

It Don't Mean A Thing If He Ain't Got A Ring...

There is a particular quote that has thrown Giants Nation into a ranting, cussing tizzy today and made me  a little warm around the collar. First you must understand two major points:

1. I am a Manning fan and stan who is very impressed with how my quarterback carries himself in the midst of doubters and second guessers. He shows them better than he tells them.

2. I hate the Dallas Cowboys with a passion! The only thing as good as a Giants win in my book, is a Cowboys loss any given Sunday, Monday, or Thursday night! The loss we served them up in January was oh so sweet!

Always Falling Forward...

I have been participating diligently in Project 365 this summer. In order to see my amazing pictures, okay they're not amazing yet, just pretty good, you have to travel to my Tumblr page 4th and 1. I must admit it gets difficult at times trying to figure out what to capture for that day. Which leads me to this point, I really need to get out more! It's amazing how comfortable I am being a "house potato". I have to push myself to be more adventurous.

I feel like I'm truly at a 4th and 1 point in my life right now. I have had good experiences, gotten over some huge obstacles, and learned some major lessons. Now I'm being called to come out of my comfort zone and stretch farther. I can seee all through my life that I've been called to come out of my comfort zone, but this time it's crucial. I love the quote "If you want to see something you've never seen, you have to do something you've never done." So do I just settle for a safe attempt at three or go for it and get my six points and a chance at a PAT? In life terms do I settle for the same old situation, just a different day or do I keep pressing for productivity and change which gives me a chance to expand my success. Of course in past posts I've revealed in football, if I was a coach,  I'd always go for it on fourth and one! I know there are sports heads who can reason away why the chance should not be taken in certain situations. Along with that I am sure they would have valid points. Of course, I approach sports from a heart point more than a head point so personally, I always scream "Go for it", when a team is in that situation. I  mean I have nothing to lose!Of course if it's your team I'm praying they fall short!

Well, I'm in a 4th and 1 scenario, with everything on the line, and I've chosen to go for it! I am stepping out of my comfort zone, grabbing the ball (my dream), hitting the middle (or sweeping the sides) and stretching to fulfill my destiny. I refuse to be denied!  What will you do when you're faced with your 4th and 1? As for me it's GAME ON.... I'm going for it!
