They are motivation and inspiration for many aspects of life. Firstly fitness and getting in shape. I am an athlete at heart and need to get my body to match that so seeing large number of people so dedicated to exercise/fitness/training gets me going. Second, the Olympics makes you go for the Gold! Or for those of us who sort of lack that talent, achieve our GOALS. Third, nationality at its best. It unites people of their country to cheer and support their athletes to go for the big WIN. That leads to number Four, bringing the people of the world together for one cause. Hopefully nations can overcome distance to participate and support each other. What I mean is that the cheers for every nation can be heard by others. When the teams entered the Ceremony people of different countries cheered for each other out of respect. And even in my house we cheer for others as well. When you hear a story about an Irish Gymnast who was said he could never walk again, you cheer for him and wish him luck. When there isn't an American competing you pick someone else and cheer for them. In my house we cheer for the U.S.A and then Britain is our backup. But we also cheer for the underdogs, those countries who have never won a medal or those awesome Independent Athletes. My last positive to make is the cheering you do when you hear a heart touching story of an athlete. Those are inspirational stories that make you feel good or get you moving.
There are sooo many other good things about the Olympics that get me going.
If you ask me what I'm doing this next couple of weeks, I will be watching the games or looking up results on the old Mac.
And last thought for tonight - I did my first design on my toes! Check out my pride.
GO TEAM U.S.A!
