It's Monday - The sun still came up, and it's shining BRIGHTLY on our Saints.

This is a good thread to consider because I think that the vast majority of Saints fans feel exactly this way.

It's hard sometimes to remind ourselves that we didn't expect this year to be anything like it has turned out to be. I'm sure that if we are honest with ourselves we never considered that we would have a lead in the division at this point in the season.

However, this early success HAS caused many to forget how rare a feat this is for a first year regime and has begun to expect the unexpectable as this season slowly becomes the stuff dreams are made of. Sadly it has also made some folks a bit critical when those hightened expectations aren't realized.

As disappointed as I would obviously be if we somehow missed out on the post season this year, I would do my best to remind myself of what I realistically thought the 2006 season would produce. When I consider those initial personal predictions, it's no wonder that I can still muster a smile after every game.

This team has a great future ahead of them. And it's great to be a Saints fan today!!! :9:
