Inspiration..
"Pain is Inevitable, but suffering is optional."
"FASTER, STRONGER, HIGHER.. NOT... FASTEST HIGHEST STRONGEST"
"The harder I work, The luckier I get"
"Dream it, Believe it, Achieve it!"
"You don't have to be sick to get better"
"Life is a grindstone. Whether it grinds us down or polishes us up depends on us."
"Failing to plan is planning to fail"
"Some people see dificulties behind every opportunity; others see opportunity behind every difficulty"
"People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." -Theodore Roosevelt

wow... that's great that your backpack was found :) still, I hope that Air Canada paid you a meaningful compensation (at least to cover the stress hehe)
When I went to Barcelona for the World Championship in 2003, Alitalia lost my suitcase and I remained only with what I was wearing on at that time; between a business trip to France and the Synchro Events in Spain, I couldn't just buy clothes that would fit both appoinments. I got a lot of help from everybody who lent me white clothes :) but still, I wanted my suitcase to be found (and it happened 13 days later, for which I only got EUR 51)
I am so glad that our card and good luck patch made it to you! I didn't known what to do that would be small enough and least bulky! It's an honor to know that a piece of us will be with you for this momentous event! We are excited to see you do your stuff! I am happy to hear that you are enjoying it all there! You have worked long and hard to get there. We love you and will be with you in your swims! Best of luck! Go USA!
