Day 207 - olympics and dreams

dreams.  we all have dreams.  whether or not we are willing to vocalize them, embrace them, journey for them, or even find them is a bigger question.  today it felt like we had a dream die - sort of - or maybe it was that we realized the journey of said dream is not over or was never about what we thought.  it was ironic to me as we watched the opening ceremonies to the olympics and watch so many peoples dreams come true through the eyes of the athletes, volunteers, audience, directors, etc. it was beautiful.  it reminded me of how big a dream is and just because we may think it has died - the journey is so much more than just a dream.

we asked each of the kids what olympic event they would like to play in - i could see new dreams hatching behind their eyes.  lilly even asked, can i play in both winter and summer olympics?  to which i of course said, YES!  caleb would like to throw the javelin, luke would like to run the marathon and lilly would like to play soccer in the summer and snowboard in the winter. 

go team USA - live your dream!!!
