{Day 258}

Those faces.  Looks of complete joy and utter despair.  Emotion welling up and pouring out.  Moments captured forever.  History made.  World records broken.  Those five colorful rings intertwined.  The Olympics.  Last night was the closing ceremonies and the end of the 2012 games.  As I was sitting there I remembered that my sixteen year old self had written down a letter after being inspired by gymnasts Carly Patterson and Paul Hamm during the 2004 games.  It was titled “I Have A Vision” and no I’m not going to share it all with you!  One thing I did write though is that I didn’t want to waste my life.  Anther thing that I put down is that to reach any goal it takes one step at a time.  So often I’m thinking about steps the future when I need to be concentrating on making the one I’m taking the best that I can.  Seems so simple yet I forget so quickly.  My piano teacher used to always say to me, “Inch by inch it’s a cinch, yard by yard it’s far too hard.”  Goals, visions, and dreams take hard work and dedication.  I think its time to make new goals…

I’d love to hear what some of your goals are in the comments below! 🙂
