The Olympics

I have to admit, I am torn with emotion about the Olympics being over. On one hand, I am glad that I will actually get to bed at a reasonable time this week compared to the last two weeks. I don't know about you, but I would get to watching them on the couch, move into my room and watch them in bed until WAY too late. I couldn't turn them off. They were addicting and there was always something else I just had to see.

On the other hand I am sad. For two weeks I only watched good things on TV. The negative portion of the news seemed to be overshadowed which was a great thing. Watching these athletes was totally amazing. What they have accomplished, regardless of how they finished or competed is unbelievable. It is inspiring and jaw dropping. I mean come on, Michael Phelps? Holy crap. What is even more exciting is realizing how amazing the Olympics are for everyone participating. It is one venue where people come from all countries and actually get along and appreciate one another. Shocking concept eh? It makes me very proud and grateful to live in a country like the US. It makes it even better when you win the most medals. :)

So who knows what I'll do this week for TV, I'm sure it won't compare.
