There are many lessons to be learned from sport: focus, determination, hard work, commitment, and striving for excellence to name a few. The Olympics are full of stories with these themes. Sometimes though, the lessons are bigger and more beautiful. And for Canadians, today is one of those days. Today the lesson was not giving up and when things look dark, choosing to have faith.
Let's face it. Pulling a goalie with seconds left in a hockey game does not often work. It is an act of desperation, of pulling out all the stops, of grasping at straws. With seconds left in the game, our women's hockey team had many more reasons to give up than continue on, but here's the beautiful thing about sport, and heck, about life: you are always given a choice. And even when it doesn't work out the way you want, it is always best to go with hope over resignation. This day will go down in our history of being one of those days to choose hope.
wishing you the beauty of true patriot love,
