Community

One of the places where I have learned the most about community is Green Bay, Wisconsin.  Oddly enough, part of that sense of community comes from our home football team, the Green Bay Packers.  Sounds funny, I know.  Especially coming from a girl whose only interest in watching sports (playing is a different story) is really hockey, and only because I grew up idolizing my big brother go from rink to rink winning tournament after tournament. 

We are unique, for many reasons.  Community, is what sets us apart.  The Packers are the only team owned by the community and there are players who have been around for years, because of the community and the spirit of Green Bay.  When bringing in new players, management looks for not only the skill, but the heart in each player.  Donald Driver who has been with the team for 12 years (I think), was the last one off the field yesterday as he took time with each fan, even with an injury, as he circled the stadium.  Driver has the heart of Green Bay, and the community sees it. 

Rodgers said in an interview with Letterman "But I think a lot of times, the things you can't measure are often the things that give people the most success." 

Here is a little piece of the heart I saw from my family and friends during this Superbowl XLV win...

I am always thankful for the heart and spirit of Green Bay, and what it has taught me, and continues to teach me, each day.
