Public Announcement
Haters are not welcome here,
Only those with a loving heart.
If you wish to linger near,
Find compassion to impart.
Will you embrace positivity?
Are you more inclined to smile than frown?
Do you celebrate others' successes?
Do you respect those who differ from you?
If so, you may enter now.
Haters are not welcome here,
Only those with a loving heart.
If you wish to linger near,
Find compassion to impart.
Are you kind to those around you?
Will you share with those in need?
Will you lend a hand when summoned?
Are you forgiving of contrite souls?
If so, you will be embraced.
Because...
Haters are not welcome here,
Only those with a loving heart.
If you wish to linger near,
Find compassion. Now, let's start.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.

Wonderful! The world needs compassion now, lots of it. Loved this rhyming poem.
Such a beautiful reminder that kindness is an active choice.
