My Ever Changing Moods
Last night, we held our closing ceremonies by turning off our over-head projector which has been on for two straight weeks. I'm feeling a lack of celebration and awe right now. So, I will give some of my highlights/observations. CHEERS A cheer to Michael Phelps for doing the impossible and really winning all those races. It really lived to its pre-race hype. He was bullied and raised by a single mom. Yet, he became a legend in one week. A cheer to Natalie du Toit for swimming 6, yes 6!, miles in open water with only one leg. A cheer to Nastia Liukin for being graceful, elegant, and showing her composure during that funky tie event. A cheer to Shawn Johnson for her cheer and indomitable spirit. A cheer to third place finisher, David Neville, for diving for a bronze in the men's 400 and being thrilled about it. It reminded me all about attitude. A cheer to Dara Torres for being classy and waiting for a stalled competitor. TEARS A tear for the sobbing almost medalist in me
