I am the opposite of a football player. I am mostly sedentary. I shop for exercise. Cooking is another hobby of mine, but really not much action there unless you count a rare short run to take cookies out of the oven before they burn. Other than work, my most time consuming activity is watching TV. I don’t really watch sports either, except my niece Lina’s basketball games (Go Lady Scots!) and I really do love the Mavs.
So, I find it kinda funny that I would be inspired by this quote:
We Ask of You Just One Thing… All You Have.
I saw it on the wall of a football locker room on some TV show – I think either Glee (no surprise there) or maybe it was in The Blind Side. I can totally see how football coaches would love this quote. I tried to find the author by Google-ing it and the first search found was from the movie, Fight Club. Tyler Durden did not say it, nor really anything like it much, but you know how Google is. Fight Club is one of my favorite movies though, so maybe this makes a little sense in the weird world of blogging and quotation seeking, but no matter. I just like the quote.
The quote reminds me of CPS caseworkers. The young women and men (mostly women) who work for CPS in Dallas County do and do and do and are rarely thanked for their efforts. If they do a good job and show that they can handle a large caseload they are given additional cases. Caseworkers will be working tonight and tomorrow and on Christmas day. They'll witness things we can't imagine and knock on doors Dog the Bounty Hunter would run away from.
Dallas County Caseworkers really give it all they have.
And children in Dallas are safer tonight because they do.
