First of all, it’s an absolute joy to be alive. That’s the core principle I operate my life from. I think I’ve told you that before. Even in the most difficult circumstances I find something, anything to be joyful about. It’s not always easy, but it’s something I force myself to do. That’s the lens I try to look at everything through.
Right now — right this second — is one of those moments I will use for the rest of my life to remind myself of what kind of joy life can bring me, bring us. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not for a second going to pretend that us Sounders fans haven’t been spoiled with a Decade of Dominance, because we absolutely have been.
