We have all heard on the news that the games were a success, and how it brought us all together... as if we did not feel that ourselves. It was so amazing, beyond words fun. It has also been reported about how it has changed our city, and will we ever be the same again, in Vancouver, or in our vast and beautiful country.
I feel different. I feel like there should be more to my life than the work from home mom that I am. I feel inspired, as I am sure others must be. The athletes that came here over came so much to be here, and while they were here as well, deaths, and losses of loved ones. SO many stories that touched us, the "difference makers". And yes we "believed"
That part is over but I am determined to figure out something to keep this thrill inside me alive. What I dont know.
The random high fives seem like a nice option, but will people think that I am nuts? Definitely random Woot woot's are out of the question ( sorry sindy people are going to think you are strange).
I can feel that others out there are like me. I can see it in there faces as I walk down the streets down town, and hear foreign voices still in the air. Any one of you have any suggestion for me to keep the flame burning in our hearts?
Oh that's a great ? I've been trying to think of the same thing. We had so much fun and seeing all those great events sparked insperation to want more out of life. Not just going To work every day and repeating. My flame is still burning and I hope to get a chance to check out the Paralympics.

Hola! I just figured out you had a blog and have been enjoying your entries... I know there are random free hugs events that seem like fun, though I've never been to one. I have a friend who loves doing things like that so I could let you know when she does it again =)
ReplyDeleteHug events could be fun..... But a plan event would not be random and that is what was so amazing about high 5's. A quick social intrration with a stranger you most likely will never see again
