(not so) Ordinary Heros
by @bsainsbury
Hasn’t this been a party? Everyone I speak to says the same thing. The Olympic experience is so far above anything they could have imagined. Yes, there are long line-ups and packed skytrains, endless security checks and people everywhere you go. It’s an opportunity to be meet new folks and to renew old friendships and celebrate as a family. Last night I gave directions to three women from Langley who hadn’t been to the downtown core for at least 10 years! Welcome and I hope you come back soon.
As the games wind down, it’s time for all of us to personally thank the folks who made our party possible; the bus drivers, the smurf volunteers, the policemen, traffic control and yes the folks who manned the endless security checks. Anyone I’ve forgotten?
My challenge to you is to take the time to chat up and thank three people each day who made it possible for you to enjoy the games. Okay, don’t chat up the bus driver while he/she is driving, but don’t forget to shout out “Thank You” as you exit the bus. It’s a Vancouver thing.
See .. wasn’t that easy? And you’re going to meet the most amazing people.
