Last night we watched the opening of the 2008 Olympic Games. While watching I was reminded of how excited I used to get. 1984, 1988. I was just a kid. A young gymnast. Watching Mary Lou. Watching the Americans dominate. It was awesome! Didn't it seem that it was Us vs. Them? As an adult, I don't see it that way. The world seems smaller somehow. I feel a sense of Unity. A sense that we are all One.As we watch, I see the glimmer in my girls eyes. The awe. They are full of questions. Do I have the right answers? Will these Olympics leave lasting memories for them? I hope so.
