2014 Winter Olympics

The 2014 Winter Olympics started on Friday in Sochi, Russia! As I watched the opening ceremonies on TV I couldn't help but remember 2010 when Vancouver hosted, our city hummed with an electric buzz from start to finish. I watched the residents of Russia celebrate being the host city, and the feelings came rushing back and I could feel their excitement! As of today Canada has earned 4 medals, 1 bronze, 2 silver and 1 gold! Go Canada! I think my most favorite part of the opening ceremonies was the lighting of the Olympic cauldron and the fireworks display! I thought they did a fabulous job with that performance!

To Believe, Author unknown

To believe is to know that every day is a new beginning.
It is to trust that miracles happen, and dreams really do come true.
To believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds,To know the wonder of a stardust sky and the wisdom of the man in the moon.
To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart,The innocence of a child's eyes and the beauty of an aging hand,for it is through their teachings we learn to love.
To believe is to find the strength and courage that lies within us, When it is time to pick up the pieces and begin again.
To believe is to know we are not alone, That life is a gift and this is our time to cherish it.
To believe is to know that wonderful surprises are just waiting to happen, And all our hopes and dreams are within reach.
If only we believe.
