When the flame fades, tears come to my eyes. I have always been an Olympic addict. This year, after missing a few of the games, I was re-ignited myself with the love of the games. I do not know why I am touched so much by the Olympic Spirit. Could be the underdogs and the comebacks, or it could be the grace and excellence of the athletes. It just gets me.
I don't know what I will do with myself now. I guess I will have to read or something.
The closing ceremonies were amazing. The Chinese have surely done a fabulous job of hosting the games. I hope you all were able to watch tonight.
Not much else here. I cannot believe I will get to school again tomorrow and it will be week two. Time is already flying. Only 175 days left! But who is counting! :)
I LOVE the summer olympics. I am soooo sad thata I have to wait FOUR years to watch them again...boo! This year had some really exciting games!
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you are feeling better and are able to go back to school. My kids started today and it has been great!!
I am contemplating going to utah this weekend and if i do i will let you know!
Love ya!!
