At school, we are doing a big lesson on Wednesday that ties in with the Olympics. We will be sending the kids to different "stations" throughout their time with us in the gym, and at my station, I am going to be showing them flags of different countries and playing them the different national anthems. I'm pretty excited.
Speaking of national anthems, nothing quite fills me with more American pride than hearing the Star Spangled Banner during the Olympics. I think it's because it represents a whole country. But more importantly, it represents a dream that was actually realized for someone who is kind of like me. Those Americans on the podium, those few talented and lucky people, prove that dreams can come true for us. Dreams come true.
That's why I really love the Olympics. I like to believe in the power of dreams.
the olympics, mainly the winter ones have always been one of my most favorite cultural events. You know every time you watch that something amazing is likely to happen and the rest of the world is experiencing it with you. I actually wrote a blog post about the olympics today, albeit of a different tone. check it out :p
ReplyDeleteHi Meg,
ReplyDeleteI was trying to figure out a way to send you a message, but this is the only place I see that I can send you a message.
I just wanted to tell you that I came across your blog one day and really enjoyed reading some of your posts. It's nice to find people who think more like me, who are free spirits and know that Love is the most powerful thing in the universe.
Growing up in Vegas has left me feeling drained and like I don't really belong here, so it's nice to be able to connect with others who value the same things I do in life. You're truly an inspiration to me!
I just started my own blog and hope you will check it out sometime. It's at http://freespiritedtraveler.blogspot.com
Love & Peace,
Kimberly :)
P.S. Do you have any tips on how to get more people (besides family and friends) to your blog? Let me know if you do. Thanks!
