What other post could there possibly be this Super Bowl weekend than to cheer for my hometown Philadelphia Eagles?! Green runs in our veins and this infrequent and amazing circumstance is uniting Fanatical Philly fans all across the globe. Philly is a very parochial town and takes their sports teams seriously. Old Northern football with original franchises have deep roots and so the hats, T shirts,flags, and boisterous camaraderie are blazing!

“Yo, Doc, I got cancer ova here and you talkin’ football? Have some respect!” With the frenzy in Philly, I am sure my peeps there are not looking for a cancer blog today. But there is absolutely a correlation to be made, so cut me some slack.

Knowing deep in your heart what matters is absolutely necessary to wellness. I am not suggesting that we are living for the game ( tho some are!), but that awareness of connection, joy, family, friends, and purpose must be part of the plan for strength and recovery.

So, yea, it’s about Football today because there will be excitement, memes flying on texts, shouting, exuberance and hopefully for “our side” relief , celebration and thanksgiving. It will all serve to boost the immune system and Football and therapy will converge to remind us that everyday, not just Super Bowl Sunday, we need fun and connection. So…. Fly Eagles Fly on the road to victory.….

E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES!!!
