I hope you tell us about it. I also had another article started about the Olympians, and excised part of it for my blog. Calgary's Olympics was such a meaningful time!Sandi Somershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097011585168805837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-81003747623853443392016-08-01T10:39:27.720-07:002016-08-01T10:39:27.720-07:00In our moving, I have misplaced my list of topics ...In our moving, I have misplaced my list of topics for the month. This is a good one, Sandi. I was going to say, I was waiting with bated breath, and then I decided that was too clichéd. Instead, I waited in suspense--is that much better--to read the topic and see what you had to say. Ah! You did not disappoint. <br /><br />To write this comment, I learned how to write "é" on my Mac, checked out the actually meaning of "with bated breath," and looked for synonyms for the phrase. Such challenges for a "holiday" Monday morning.<br /><br />Thank for all of this, Sandi! I am moving on to my second "cuppa."<br />Sharon Espesethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013272853384312117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-52376826157179588762016-08-01T10:05:02.115-07:002016-08-01T10:05:02.115-07:00I, too, remember those Olympics well.

I haven;t worked on it for quite some time but perhaps I will drag it out again.

Thanks also for your perceptive comment about Elizabeth Manley becoming a crowd favorite, and how we can learn from our failures.

We also had Eddie the Eagle and the Jamaican Bobsled team! So many stories came out of those Olympic Games. And although so challenging and mistakes made, these athletes, like Elizabeth Manning, kept on trying and their spirit fed to all becoming crowd favorites even though not winning the Gold. Yes, no regrets in our efforts even in failures can be learned. Lynn J Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04573498994019644656noreply@blogger.com
