AHHH

My face hurts from smiling. I've been watching the opening ceremonies of the Games in Vancouver. All those beautiful joyful young people walking and sometimes skipping together,
from every corner of the world, proud to be walking behind their countries' flags.Delighted to be where they were.

The first part was breathtaking when the Aboriginal Peoples of Canada performed their welcoming ritual dances. You know how something spectacular, like a beautifully rendered song or a piece of music, or a baby, can bring tears to your eyes .

The arena with thousands and thousands of people cheering and enjoying the spectacle. Remembering our own small part when the torch came through Aurora on its way to the games.

In such a moment in time, you know you are alive and glad of it.
