Olympic Fever
It happens only every couple of years. It's the Olympics, baby! And I have Olympic Fever!!For the next two weeks, I'll be chocked full of luge and curling, speed skating and skeleton. And tons of pride for the good ole US of A.
How can you not get all choked up, watching our Olympians tear up during the first few chords of the Star Spangled Banner?
It's the best of the best, watching their dreams come true. And how could you not respect that? Admire that? Be a little but jealous of that? It's truly amazing.
These people have passion, drive and dedication. They got up early to practice. They turned down invitations to the movies or that party with friends to work on their sport. And now we get to watch them do what they love.
How can you avoid feeling pride during the Olympics? Proud to be a part of a country, and even a world, that still supports people chasing a dream?
Sure, we wage wars and make jokes about our differences..but during the Olympics, we can all be the same. If only for a few weeks.
We can all be dreamers.
