This is perhaps a day late, but I really am grateful that the Astros won the World Series. I've been an Astros fan for 40ish years, and I've always wanted them to win the World Series. Now that it's happened, it's hard to describe the emotions. I'm so excited they won. It was fun to have something to cheer for as a family. It's amazing to see everyone in the city rallying around a common cause. It's crazy that as soon as World Series shirts are set out, they are sold out. Everyone wants to be a part of the action.
I'm also grateful to be reminded that as awesome as this is. It's a fleeting joy. If they're fortunate enough to win again next year, it is still a blip on the radar. It's a joy that won't last. I didn't expect that at the peak of the celebration, I would be reminded that there's so much more to life than sports. There's so many other priorities. So, I am really grateful for the World Championship. I'm excited to party with the city tomorrow. I'm also glad that I have something bigger to live for.
