Twenty years ago, on August the 8th, my husband and I moved into our new home, which is now our 20 year old home, in need of updating. Do I really care, when I prefer to spend it outdoors gardening, or attending my son's soccer games, or running. I just picked my first fresh tomato from the garden. I think my tired looking bathrooms can wait another few years.
This August the 8th 2008, like the rest of the world, I am anticipating with much enthusiasm. Watching the BEST compete in their respective sports is one of life's gifts. They are all winners,in my eyes. Some happen to be better than others, by.01
This separates gold from silver. Somehow, this separation almost takes away
from the beauty of sport.,sometimes the clock is more important than the grace, the strenght, the flexibility, the skill, the talent you are watching. Regretably, we have to have a winner and a loser. I have trouble with this concept. Ideally I would love to see gold for all three of them on the podium.
Because .01 is significant, I have trouble living in the real world of gold, silver and bronze. For some of the athletes, they are going for gold, nothing less. It is a mindset. Nothing else matters, they are the best and they will show the world what it takes. I, will be watching,humbled by the display, and bursting with pride, when it is a Canadian. Go Canada!!
