Super Bowl Sunday was yesterday...
It's the day that so many Canadians look forward to - even though this is a U.S. Event, many "Canucks" are excited about a party - any kind of party, really.
We couldn't watch the game because we don't have Cable Television and only rent movies from our local library because they are free of charge. We have a dry loop Internet connection that is slower than "molasses in January" - but it really doesn't matter on the month, it is still super slow if I want to download or stream anything.
We are really trying to take a step back and focus on our family and simplify our life as much as possible.
This year I wanted to see if I could ignore all of the excitement and focus on our family for the day. I felt a compulsion to check the score during the game (okay, I admit to checking once or twice).
So how did our family spend Super Bowl Sunday?
Well, we enjoyed a walk in all the glorious sunshine over to our local Community Centre during the afternoon hours. We watched a movie for a minimal fee of $3.00 (which our neighbour generously paid for) amongst our many neighbours and friends.
Afterwards, we came home and made a tremendous dish of nachos with all the trimmings and watched some children's movies together as a family unit.
I had a big "Super Bowl" of nachos and sour cream and a wonderful day filled with memories.
Our family scored a point towards having another special day to together!
As each day passes, I can more easily decipher between quantity and quality. I mean, we all know that the Super Bowl Game is going to happen every year. However, we can never guarantee the future of our own lives.
It was truly a glorious day for all of us - except the Patriots.
