2010 Olympic Closing Ceremonies Tonight

I can’t believe these winter games are almost over! I have spent hours watching, reading and talking about the Olympics in my zone of being a super fan these past two weeks. I wanted to write so much more during the games, but got caught up in just watching and that has been fun for me.

I think I love and promote the Olympics so much because I am in awe of the drive and physical human capability to be the “best” at something- in the entire world. That coupled with the fact that as far as I know, there isn’t another event/thing other than the Olympics that bazillions of people come together, to either participate in or watch. It’s pretty amazing to feel like a part of all that. Not to mention the cultures that we are able to learn about and incredible stories of some of the athletes, the sacrifices they have made and the road that got them to where they are. I guess I am just one to be in awe of humans overall and the Olympics are a good excuse to see what other people do and how they live. After all, exposure to new and different things is what makes us open our eyes to things we wouldn’t otherwise. 

The Olympics are a fun and free way to drink in what any of us can do or be if we put our hearts and souls into something. They’re like a showcase for all that’s possible and out there for the taking if any of us want it badly enough.

Go world.

Congrats athletes and families of. Thanks for inspiring us all to go for it.
