After watching so many wonderful videos online about the Olympics and the incredible feats of strength, endurance and sheer willpower of all of the Olympians no matter medal placement, I am reminded that it takes a special kind of person to do these things.
After reading my favorite blog http://vipersons.blogspot.com/ I was encouraged to seek out more info about the Olympics. After reading about super Olympian Michael Phelps on http://vipersons.blogspot.com/2008/08/he-is-doing-it-big.html, I found that my thirst for watching excellence continued to grow and I had to see more greatness. I was reminded of other greats who stood out in my mind as incredible or excellent. I was eager to see Mary Lou Retton again http://www.marylouretton.com/ and Surya Bonaly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIauMJCnvuE with her incredible illegal (now her trademark) back flip on ice.
After a couple of days, my zeal for this has died down a little. I have been bombarded with such negative news/videos and just wanted to see something positive and encouraging. I pretty much gave up looking for that and decided to log into myspace and see if I'd gotten any mail. Before I could log in, I came across this little video and was delighted that I'd watched it. Although they aren't human, they were able to do things that I can't even do upright on dry ground. Perhaps it was the musical accompaniment, or just the way it was videoed, or maybe it's just me, but I thought this to be a bit fascinating and special. Can't say I've ever seen anything quite like it.
It certainly made me smile and that's all one could hope for.

These little monkeys prove that primates can do just about anything... with training and practice.
I am so delighted to know that my blog VIPersons has really been inspirational to you!
