That Game is Over
During this college basketball season I watched the games on and off with my husband.  I would ask him "Who are you rooing for?," then make a half-hearted effort to sit near him and cheer at appropriate times. 
 The hard part of this season was seeing the faces of the players who were defeated.  They would often slump down and hide their faces from the camera. 
At one point a newswoman asked coach Jerry Slan "How will you handle this loss? His answer was short but profound " That game is over.  Let's move forward."
How many times do we need to be reminded of his wise counsel and say "That event is over. Now move forward."
