Winning and Losing

The Canucks lost game seven of the Stanley Cup Finals tonight.  

SUCH a bummer.

Ryan Kesler's face at the end of the game was almost too much to bear.  And poor Henrik Sedin couldn't take his head out of his hands.

I'm new at this sports fan thing, but unfortunately that didn't make it any easier to watch the Boston Bruins lift that shiny, silver cup over their heads.

It was just crushing...

And then I took a step back, and reminded myself that in my real life, I had a great day.  

First, was an extremely fruitful session with my new therapist, who I think is amazing. And then WP and I had a very successful meeting that left us both super excited about what the next several months hold.

So tonight, I'm going to focus on that.

Because while I really am genuinely sad that the Canucks lost, I'm much happier that today, in my own smaller way, I won.

Did you have a winning day today?

I was watching the game but half way through the third I just couldn't watch anymore. :(

There is always next year. Glad you had a good day and more to come.

i'm sorry your team lost but you seem to have your ducks all lined up and that new comfy chair so there's that.
my days are winning and full of kids home from college. i hatched a couple of night owls so we don't get going til after ten...movies, popcorn, cable and laughing at old videos...the dog comes in and out..checks on snoring husband, then back to guilt me into finally coming to bed. at two we say our goodnights & sweet dreams, i get in bed, ipod drowns out snoring, dog cuddles and i know were my kids are. winning doesn't even come close to describing that feeling.
some night in the future, you'll love feeling that, too. sweet dreams.

I missed it. The game, I missed it. :-( I went to the dr. this morning for a UTI, got some antibiotics, and 5 minutes before puck drop started throwing up. It got so bad that the dr had to call me in an rx for that and that one totally knocked me out.
I don't know...maybe the hockey gods were sparing me the pain of watching the loss. :-(
I just saw live TV from Vancouver just now....they are rioting. Turning over and burning cars in the streets. Not good.

Glad you had a good day!!

I don't know from Canucks but I'm sorry you were bummed. And YAY on your successful meeting. And... I did have a winning day -- nay, a winning WEEK! Very good work things happening, and a future that looks shiny and bright and new.

Have a great rest of the week!
