This weekend, I relished in the joy of watching my young daughter discover and enjoy doing something she truly loves. She participated in a community event where she expressed herself, in all of her fullness, immersed herself, with all of her exuberance and shared herself with so many of those who loved her. I sat back, with my husband and family, day after day, amazed at her talents and her confidence and watched her become who it appears, she is intended to be.
At one point, I asked her, “Honey, are you having fun?” with the assumption that understandably she may be getting tired, or that maybe perhaps, she was participating because she thought we wanted her to be or for other unknown reasons… Without pause… her response, “Mommy, I absolutely love this!”
I had very little left to say except to smile and to explain to her that this is what life is about. Life is about finding what it is that you absolutely love to do, and if in doing that, you can bring others pleasure, then you are truly blessed and extremely fortunate.
Tonight, at the end of a weekend I spent in awe of this beautiful little girl, I feel so truly blessed and fortunate to be a part of her happiness.
