It was very cold tonight as the Green Bay Packer Football team lost the championship game in overtime. However the sub-0 weather did not bother me much till after the game. I was so caught up in the tight game that I did not notice the cold much. However, walking out after the game I was suddenly very cold. Sometimes when we are caught up in something we do not notice other stuff. After the game Brett Favre, the Packer’s hall of fame quarterback, looking very sad and disappointed said something similar. All season teammates and family had told him to ‘believe’ that this season was magical and something meant to be. He said that he felt that during the game till the very end. After losing the game he felt deflated and knew the bubble had burst. As I felt the cold after the game, he felt the sense of defeat. He said he wanted to put the game out of his mind so as not to take away from the great season of the team. He was keeping the faith.

Maybe the fact that the game was at night at Lambeau field in Green Bay was a factor in the loss. The last playoff game at night in Green Bay, that I can remember, resulted in a Packer loss. It was my first playoff game in attendance, again thanks to the generosity of my son and daughter-in-law. Without doing any research I believe that all the Packer’s playoff victories have been in daylight.

Today was a sunny day. This morning when I went into the sunroom, the little heater that could not keep up with the cold last night was now off. The temperature was still very cold outside but the sun made all the difference. Maybe the Green Bay Packers are a sun team, and like many of us and green plants, do better in the sun. Next year may all the Green Bay Packer games be sunny ones. Let us keep the faith.
