I try not to let things get to me, but that was something I couldn’t stop. It’s hard to think about things like this because you obviously never want a tragedy of this magnitude to happen to you. I’m just grateful for everything in my life, especially the health of my family and friends. Thanks for sharing, it was very moving.

A lovely post, Cheryl!
Courage does carry us miles and miles…
And it is nice to experience the momentum of kindness in yourself and others… it can pick us up if our courage starts to wane.
As you say, the power of a single thought of love.
You really put a smile on my face, today!

Hi Ben,
Courage is only required when fear is present. Taking risks keeps us feeling alive and strong. Without love and kindness around to cushion our falls, we would never take that first step. You make me smile too
OMG this story has completely killed me. I feel so awful for that figure skater. I can’t imagine what she’s going through.

Hi Cyndi,
I just added the video footage from last night’s skate. She made it through that one. I don’t think it’s going to get easier. Grieving takes all the wind out of your sails. We’ll have to keep sending her love to keep her pumped up. She’s most certainly surrounded by angels.
Thanks for sharing this truly inspiring story. I also believe that anyone, regardless of upbringing or occupation, can make it through the most difficult times as long as he or she focuses and has true love for his or her family, friends, and supporters.

Hi Julius,
Yes, love makes all the difference when times get complicated. Joannie has people and the Olympics to distract her for now. She’ll need all of her friends and family next week when everything quiets down. My heart goes out to her. So glad you’re becoming a regular, Julius
Thanks Cheryl. looking forward to the next posts, and if possible, kindly let us know about Joannie’s upcoming activities. Will also try to google about it from time to time.

Oh, Joannie is going to skate next! I’m glad I stayed up – it’s nearly 11:30 pm here. I hope she skates well.
She did – she skated beautifully and she made me cry. So amazing! So powerful and strong. And lots of tears at the end of her skate.
Another wonderful post, Cheryl. Tragic and sad…but also uplifting to think of the support she has and the determination to keep going. Very moving, Cheryl. Makes you think…makes you appreciate the time you have with friends and loved ones.
Thanks.
Fred

Hi Fred,
It most certainly does make you appreciate the time we have with each other. I’m looking forward to seeing Joannie on the ice tonight. She’ll be surrounded by angels.
