So Michigan home opener was on Saturday...and yes, I was there. It's always good to be at the game with 109,000 of my closest friends. Game was good (of course we won - tough game against Vanderbuilt), although I'm a little nervous about the offense this season...we'll see I guess.
Here is a pic of the stadium...view is about what I had, except I was on the opposite end of the field...
As I'm sitting there, doing the wave, then slowly, then quickly (anyone that's been there knows what I'm talking about), I started thinking a little. Thought about all of the times I've been there, some as a student, some with friends, but always a good time. Sometimes slowing down just slightly puts things in perspective - who knew I could 'slow down' at a Michigan football game? Seems like these times with friends and family, the ones we remember and enjoy, are really the important things. Meetings I go to, work I do, it's all a means to an end...and the end is being able to spend time with people - to have relationships.
Makes me wonder why we are wired this way - why do we require relationships? Even when I say I don't need anyone, or any help, it still is nice if either come along. Seems like in a small way, we can tangibly see we require support. Tough to take sometimes, but helps us grow into who we are supposed to be - yes, getting help from others can actually make us stronger.
Anywhoo, guess that's a whole lot of talking that could have been summed up by two words - GO BLUE!
