But the roads weren't so bad, of which I'm thankful, and I'm one of the first ones here today, so I grabbed myself a cup of cocoa and I'm ready to begin a day of high productivity!
You know what's great for productivity? Crying your eyes out at a really heart-warming story, of course! The other day I received a wonderful email from Dionne, of the blog Notes from Dionne, with a link to an ESPN story. Okay, maybe ESPN doesn't exactly have the reputation for being a tear jerker, but I swear, I couldn't get halfway through this story without employing the good old "fan my welling eyes with my hand" trick.
Definitely give it a read:
There are some games in which cheering for the other side feels better than winning.

aw! thanks for linking that. I welled up too!
Oh dear! It's not good to have a tear stained face when it's so cold outside!
Excellent story, thanks, as always, for sharing!
I'm glad I can blame my teary eyes & red nose on my cold... what a great story.
It would have been nice if your husband had cleared the car for you!
Awesome story!
Drive safely everyone!
Girlgretchen - Totally, right? He feels bad about not helping, but he was inside doing dishes, which really isn't any more fun! And I'm not one to interrupt his dish washing motivation!
That was so nice. Thanks for sharing.
THAT STORY WAS FANTASTIC! There's always something about sports stories that make you feel all gooey. I personally love We Are Marshall. So inspiring!!
And tell Rob to get his butt up and start your car 20 minutes before you have to leave so all the snow melts off!
Hope all is well.
Yeah, I was all misty-eyed too when I read it! So nice to see sportsmanship go beyond the normal "good game" handshakes at the end of a game.
You are brilliant! I'm going to add your button to my blog and spread the word!
Thank you so much for sharing this story. It is one of the most touching stories I have ever read and I have already shared it with everyone I know (and I never do that!). Thank you!
My brother read this at Christmas dinner this past year. Amazing story. It really showed what the holiday is all about.
