2016 Olympics

I don't know about you, but I love the Olympics. We went out and bought a TV antenna so we could watch it. The athletes are amazing, and though they don't ALL win a medal, just the fact that they are there competing is amazing to me.   Before bed, we all snuggle together on the couch and watch the different events, listening to interviews with those who have won gold and those who didn't perform as well as expected. In so many interviews, the athletes explained how hard they had to work to get to where they are. They put in the time and the effort required to succeed. I am so glad my girls are there watching with us as we have tried to instill in them a desire to be passionate about something and to work hard to achieve their goals. I loved how Aly Raisman shared her experience after winning the silver medal for her incredible floor routine. She told how when she was younger, she was going to move up to the next level of gymnastics, but was held back because she was weak on the floor. That inspired her to be more determined and to work harder. Her greatest weakness has become her greatest strength. The Olympics are truly inspiring and it's not over yet, so if you haven't tuned in to watch the world's greatest athletes compete, check it out, and be inspired.

Be well
