I’m honored to be considered one of your “greatness” role models! And what an inspiring post.

I love that you remember her too. She was on Ukraine’s version of Dancing with the Stars most recently I believe. But, yes, it does get nostalgic watching the competition every four years. The hardest thing for me was seeing past teammates competing in the Olympics or at the Big 12 Championshpis or meets during college.

However, everything happens for a reason, and I never reached elite level, but there is always the what if. Though, I’m really happy with where I am now.

Asking what if takes away from what could be…right now. =)

@Nedra as always – thank you!

I was a fan of hers, too. “Do well, or do not bother” was what her grandmother taught her. I liked that one. I thought of her just last night as I was watching the Olympics. My olympic dreams were of volleyball, not gymnastics. They did not come true, either. I get sentimental about it sometimes and think I should have tried harder to make it come true, but then I reflect like you did about other ways to succeed in life. I had some rough years, but I can’t really complain about the way my life has gone. In fact, it keeps getting better and better as I get more and more involved in my community.
