Looking forward for the Olympics

Today will be the Grand Opening of the Beijing Olympics and I'm looking forward to watch the opening ceremony on TV, though I still don't know what time it's going to start. I'm not someone who's so much into sports but I like to watch the grand opening ceremony and some of the games especially the synchronized swimming and gymnastics. The team sports like volleyball or beach volleyball are also great games to watch but I'm sure my Hubby would be looking forward for the football games.

It's exciting to know which country will be the overall winner for the Olympics. As for my country, it's sad to say that even for a gold medal, it's so seldom for us to get one. But anyways, as they say, it's not for the Gold or for the medals but it's for the Olympic Spirit in which in spite of different color, races, languages and background, everyone gather together in unity. Wow! Sounds like how it's going to be in heaven, .." from every nation, tongue and tribe" everyone will gather to worship the King.

The Olympics is underway at last and I too will be glued to the TV . The spirit of the Olympics is great and I was fortunate enough to have been able to visit Olympia once the birthplace of the Olympic games. Amazing place ran on the original track too!
