The 2010 Winter Olympics: What song would YOU dance to?
How quickly the 2010 Winter Olympics have come… I personally am a Summer Olympics fan myself, but I do like some of the winter sports as well. I remember the skating greats of the seventies and wonder why my eight year old daughter is not as interested as I was. I used to imagine myself on the ice, skating beautifully, even would practice in my skates. I never was that good.
If you were skating in the 2010 Winter Olympics, what song would you dance to? Would it be a song you liked, a song that means something to you, your theme song?
One of my favorite movies is “Ice Castles” (movie from the 70s with Robbie Benson). The theme song is “Through the Eyes of Love” by Melissa Manchester (am I showing my age?). I always said that was the theme song to my life (or at least what I had hoped my life would be when I was a little girl!). The movie is actually about an ice skater. Lexie loses her eyesight while skating and then returns to skating later on. Here is a clip from the movie… makes me cry EVERY time I see it. Lexi skates for the first time at a competition and does not want her fans to know she is still without her eyesight…
Now that I am all grown up, married with children, I know that the song means so much more to me… My husband is my Robbie Benson… He would come and save me after I fall because of the flowers… And he would stick with me…
“Please don’t let this feeling end, it’s everything I am, everything I want to be. I can see what’s mine now, finding out what’s true. Since I found you, looking through the eyes of love”.
Makes me appreciate everything I have… and how I am exactly where I want to be.
What would YOU dance to?
