Winter Olympic Games

I have have always loved watching the Olympic games. May favorite part would be the opening and closing ceremonies. The opening ceremonies capture the spirit of the games along with the hopes and dreams of the athletes. The closing ceremonies honor those athletes and those events which either brought victory or defeat.

In life, we all experience moments of victory and defeat. The question we need to ask on this journey: Am I at the top of my "game?" Pun intended! Are you giving 100% of yourself? Something to think about!

Fortunate Cirmstances

Last Sunday I was frustrated and angry after watching the Saints/Vikings game. Although I agree it was a very good game and either team could have won, I wanted to see the Vikings win and progress to the Superbowl. The Vikings have been in the superbowl but the Saints never have.

My wife, who can always see a positive point in every situation, made a comment that left me speechless: "Maybe the Saints needed the victory more!" The victory was not only for the football team and fans, but for the people of New Orleans who are still rebuilding their city and their lives. On your journey, remember that sometimes your "unfortunate" circumstances may be "fortune" or "blessings to others. Journey on and count your blessings!
