Between work and gardening, I’ve been watching the Olympics on TV and have marveled at some of the amazing accomplishments and heartbreaks of athletes from around the world. I admire athletes like South African Oscar Pistorius who had to fight his way into the Olympics and who celebrates his abilities. I also admire the dedication of all those athletes who put in long hours, month after month, year after year yet don’t go home with a medal.
