Selection Sunday .... My favorite holiday next to Christmas! I remember being in middle school and my third grade sisters were filling out brackets for our family pool. My family is a little intense of basketball, even when we aren't the ones playing!
I've been concentrating hard today to fill out my bracket before I cut off communication with the world and head to the beach for Spring Break. As much as I would love to share my bracket with the world and what I think will be key points, I can't bring myself to do it - I'd be so upset if my brother and dad actually read my blog and copied my bracket! I can't let them win!!! Instead, I will give probably my Top Three Reasons Why I Love March Madness Moments.
First, the one thing that about makes me cry every year is the "One Shining Moment." Oh my gosh, I just get super emotional! I watched last years "One Shining Moment" before I posted it below and I almost lost it - I think it's because I love basketball and when you've played for a long time as well you start to understand (on a smaller scale) what they are feeling!
Second, I am a sucker for a Cinderella story. Duke is my favorite basketball team, so of course when they lose, regardless of who to, I'm sad, but that is still part of what makes March Madness so incredible!
Third, I've always wanted to dunk. I got over that phase when 1) I realized I was done growing after barely reaching 5'5" and 2) my dad reminded me that while impressive, dunks are still only worth two points.
-Courage, dear heart. C.S. Lewis
