NO WINNER NO CHICKEN DINNER

Last night I couldn’t tell if I was watching Game 6 of the World Series or a throw-away game in mid-June.  The Cards just didn’t have the spark or the intensity required to win any World Series game—let alone one against a high caliber team like the Red Sox. 

It was almost if the Cardinals were thinking, “Ehh, if we don’t win tonight no biggie, we’ll get them tomorrow to even out the series.”  Obviously flawed thinking.
The Cardinals had the benefit of knowing it was do or die…to win or go home for the winter.  We’re not so lucky—we never know when it’s going to be our last game.  This is why it’s so important to live to the fullest every day.  I’m not talking about running a marathon every day or basing jumping during every lunch hour.  I mean we never know what tomorrow holds so enjoy today as much as possible.

Don’t worry, I’m not going to quote some cheesy inspirational poster or start talking about YOLO, all I’m saying is it’s important to keep things in perspective.  From time to time I have to take a step back and remind myself of this—to stop waiting for the “next big thing” and start living in the now.
And right now I’ve got better things to do than ramble.
