Olympic Spirit

I remember as a child watching the Olympics with focused attention. I was totally drawn into the athletes personal story – their hard work – and both the joy of victory and agony of defeat. When I was able to visit the USA Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, it only added to my interest. Being an athlete in high school and college, I carried that Olympic Spirit into my sports and even bought the jackets and t-shirts to represent. The Olympic Rings representing shared teamwork and team spirit to life each other higher than we could go individually.

Tonight we as a family watched the Figure Skating championship, and the fluttering heart, tears in eyes, and standing ovations all flooded back. Our spirits electrified to give each other and life our best shot.

Reading the bio’s of the athletes and where they have come from and what they have overcome, simply incredible.

Alysa – thank you for your Olympic Spirit! All joy for you in this golden moment in time.
