What a celebratory weekend we just had! It began with the opening of the Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver on Friday February 12th, was followed by Valentines Day on Sunday and officially in some parts of the world, Family Day on Monday.

Aside from having the common focus of ‘celebration’, what other ‘commonalities’ do you share on each of these occasions?

Here are a few:

Tolerance
Laughter
Togetherness
Failure
Creativity
Goals
Stamina
Respect
Love
Focus
Effort
Dedication
Resourcefulness
Desire
Perseverance
Endurance
Happiness
Disappointment
Hope
Persistence
Vision
Connecting
Sharing
Experiencing
Seeing potential
Determination
Success
Harmony
Courage
Strength
Teamwork
Pride
Reward
Chocolate maybe?

If you make the effort to reflect on just how much each of the above fit into all three occasions, you just may end up feeling like an Olympian yourself!
