I love watching the Olympics. I love the stories of getting to the top. I love the tears and emotions. I love living vicariously though someone amazing for a moment.
Micheal Phelps... WOW. What else can you say? I loved watching his mother. It must have been so wonderful to watch her son reap the rewards of his efforts. He put up with a lot of teasing and bullying as a child. He was labeled not smart. He was labeled. Now the labels are words like phenom, the Michael Jordan of swimming, even his ADHD label is a positive one.
I love his devotion and gratitude for his mom. After a race, he was mouthing, "I can't find my mom..."
Proud moments. It is what parents live for.
There are others that I really enjoyed watching. Guo Jingjing get gold for diving. Her intensity and concentration wowed me.
Usain Bolt wins 100m gold at the Beijing Olympics ... he is just to calm, cool and collective!
Then there is Dara Torres, 41 year old mom of a 2 year old... who gets silver! WOW! I put the usual pictures of the other athletics I was taken by, by how could I not put this picture of her?!!! Again, WOW.
All I can say is this is all proof that if you put your mind to it, your God given talent, nothing really can stop you.
I better stop making all the excuses I do for my self!
