I love the Olympics! Every two years we get to see elite athletes from countries across the globe compete, not just for gold, silver or bronze medals, but also for the honor of representing their country on the world stage.
I especially love the pomp and circumstance of the Opening Ceremony. As I watched the parade of athletes, my throat tightened and tears welled up in my eyes. All these people have come together to celebrate the human body and its ability to rise to new heights, to accomplish new goals, to overcome new obstacles.
I'm excited to watch the events, hear the stories of challenge and perseverance, and celebrate the competitors whether they win or not. I'm so grateful for these two very special weeks.
