What are we going to do now that the Olympics are over?! Watch Bachelorette reruns? Complain about political ads? Wonder what celebrity is heading for rehab?
The great thing about the Olympics is that it raises our eyes and gives us a vision above the mundane, above our lowest selves. It inspires us with stories of courage and determination and high ideals.
I read this Monday morning in USA Today:
This was the Olympics in which the Queen said hello, and Michael Phelps said goodbye. This was the Olympics where a man from South Africa ran with no legs and a woman from Poland played table tennis with one arm. This was the Olympics that reminded us what it does best – nurturingevery dream. – Mike Lopresti
