Have done wonders for me, they have inspired me to ... stay in shape, which i was already doing pretty well with... they've reminded me that the world is huge and wonderful and that there are people who live their lives dedicated toward causes and goals... the internationality of it all has helped stoke my desire to travel and learn and experience... it makes me happy to see people realizing their life dream every 30 minutes or so, its inspiring to think that some of my dreams, though different, are perhaps also achievable :o) Right now I am watching the women's marathon, what an event, what a metaphor...
I've always loved the Olympics and this one has an added meaning. Go USA, go every athlete working toward realizing a dream... and Go anyone else who is doing the same, in a different venue, or a different scale or stage.
