I’ll preface this blog by stating I have much respect and admiration for all of the athletes participating in the XXIV Winter Olympic Games a.k.a. “Beijing 2022”. For sure, an honorable undertaking which encompasses pressure, anxiety, self-discipline, self-sacrifice, and rigorous training.

When you come right down to it, most ordinary/extraordinary people are unsung heroes who perform Olympian feats on a daily basis:

On your mark, get set, go!

How many of us hit the ground running as soon as our feet touch the floor in the morning? Whatever our responsibilities or daily goals might be, we’re more than likely multi-tasking for hours on end. A juggling act at that!

Then, when life hurls lemons at us, it’s a balancing act to stay upright treading on thin ice.

Finding the time and mental fortitude to engage in one’s self-gratifying, creative endeavors often becomes a feat in itself.

At the pace of a turtle slog, my Contemporary work in progress has advanced from the Prologue to Chapter 7 where I’m entrenched. The daily grind of finding the right words to set the scene is a challenge. The accomplishment for meeting my own stringent requirements—an Olympian feat.

*May each of us celebrate the victory of each unheralded feat.

My sincere appreciation if you’ve read this far.
