Day of Delirium #352 - Olympics

Those who know me well, know I love the Olympics. So much so, that sleep goes by the wayside if I need to stay up late to watch something. Although this year is a little harder as the Olympics are happening when we should be sleeping all night. So I do my best to watch until 11:30 or midnight but that is as far as I can go. So I watch replays and check social media for results. I had to give up trying to avoid spoilers this year as coverage isn’t as good as usual and like I said I just can’t watch overnight.

The Olympics for me are not necessarily about the medals but they are sure a wonderful bonus. What I love is the human spirit that comes out during the Olympics. People just seem nicer. It is heartwarming to see countries come together and cheer on each other and support all the hard work it took to reach the Olympics.

This story is the perfect example of my love for the Olympics.

So as you watch the Olympics this year, and I hope you do, cheer for your country but cheer more for the human spirit that pushes people to do things they never thought they could do.



My Olympic journey begins on Friday February 24, 2017 when my husband and I will go and try our hand at curling. I can’t even imagine how hard it is going to be but I am sure we will have fun and hey, if all goes well, we will win a gold medal in mixed doubles curling in Beijing in 2022.
