I love the stories of getting to the top.  I love the tears and emotions.  I love living vicariously though someone amazing for a moment.<\/p>\n<p>Micheal Phelps&#8230; WOW.  What else can you say?  I loved watching his mother.  It must have been so wonderful to watch her son reap the rewards of his efforts.  He put up with a lot of teasing and bullying as a child.  He was labeled not smart.  He was labeled.  Now the labels are words like phenom, the Michael Jordan of swimming, even his ADHD label is a positive one.<\/p>\n<p>I love his devotion and gratitude for his mom.  After a race, he was mouthing, &#8220;I can&#8217;t find my mom&#8230;&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>Proud moments. It is what parents live for.<\/p>\n<p>There are others that I really enjoyed watching. Guo Jingjing get gold for diving. Her intensity and concentration wowed me.<\/p>\n<p>Usain Bolt wins 100m gold at the Beijing Olympics &#8230; he is just to calm, cool and collective!<\/p>\n<p>Then there is Dara Torres, 41 year old mom of a 2 year old&#8230; who gets silver!  WOW!  I put the usual pictures of the other athletics I was taken by, by how could I not put this picture of her?!!! Again, WOW.<\/p>\n<p>All I can say is this is all proof that if you put your mind to it, your God given talent, nothing really can stop you.<\/p>\n<p>I better stop making all the excuses I do for my self!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love watching the Olympics.
