Olympics
Life
is Olympic
If
you loose,
you
still win!
If
you win,
you
share the victory!
If
you loose by time
a
fraction of a second,
It
is not a loss by talent!
If
your loss is by points
it
may be a judgment call,
not
less talent at all!
Win
or loose here..
You
win in spirit
You
win in commitment
You
win in life!
I
have felt skis in the snow and wind in my face
But
I can not race
I
have felt the ice and the backwards chance
But
can not dance
I
have felt the fun of the ride
But
do not want to fast slide!
Happy
to watch from here
Excited
without the fear
I
love to cheer ... end from start
We
are all
Olympians
at heart.
Think
about it...what was your Olympic moment?
We ALL have one!!
I think you describe what a lot of us experience when it comes to watching the Olympics. We share their excitement without the fear or the risks and are indeed 'Olympians at heart'.

ReplyDeleteA good philosophy to take to heart. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the thoughts of winning in life, and shared victories.
ReplyDeleteSo true... and thanks for that!
ReplyDeleteSo true, we are all Olympians one way or another. We all have had the joy of winning at one point or another & the sadness of defeat as well. And as we watch the television Olympics, we do identify, don't we?
ReplyDeleteits been a while but i used to ski pretty well back in the day...before i crushed my legs...its an amazing feeling...
ReplyDeleteGreat post, and know that you have had many "olympic moments"!
ReplyDeleteWell actually the birth of my two girls were Olympic moments for me. With lasting gold results for sure.
DeleteGreat words and really captures the spirit if the games, we all have moments it is just recognizing them and loving them.
ReplyDeleteWell done...thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteYou describe well why people love cheering and watching sports events. And the Olympic sports have such variety.
ReplyDeleteRae, so true, we've all felt that rush. I used to run track and that was amazing, but my Olympic sense came in a team building exercise when I had to walk a tightrope! :-) Thank you for the smile and the memory. Congrats on your 500 miles!
ReplyDeleteYou go girl!
ReplyDeleteAmazing - 500 miles! I'm not sure I would be able to walk for months after that!
