Gratitude is the “superfood” of emotions. It’s both empowering, and humbling, simultaneously. There’s an emotional energy we feel when experiencing a spontaneous moment of gratitude that shifts our perspective in an instant…and for the better.
What you are describing is actually a prescription from ABOVE for the human spirit.
99.9% of the posters on this forum are very loyal and long-time Bama fans, including me. I check this site almost every day!
But I also try to have a proper balance for matters that are "first-order" loyalties. But it does concern me that sometimes I find my priorities out of line with what I truly know should be.
And, I think because Bama football has been so high-functioning for such a long time in our recent run, it is truly hard for some to deal with us not being at the top of the sport. What's even harder is this current reality started before 2024 when the GOAT hung up his coaching hat, but most people aren't willing to see it for what it is. Some posters who were ordinarily very positive have decided our current position in the sport, which is really still at a very, very high place, has fallen to such a low place that they interpret every bit of news about the team in the most negative way possible. For some, the easy way is just to blame it all on CKD as if he is the anti-Saban.
I don't know if CKD will ever win an SEC title or a NC at Bama, but I do know my attitude about Bama won't impact that in the slightest way. It's all out of my hands. But, what I can see as a fan is he's doing a lot of things at a very high level, like CNS (recruiting) and he's doing some things every better than CNS could do toward the end (like hiring better assistant coaches). But for all the good, some can only focus on the anti Saban things like PCs or a few of the lopsided losses.
I choose to believe he'll get those things under control, too. I couldn't care less how he does at PCs, but if he stops the lopsided losses, what's the next thing to be upset about?
