my happy today was watching my daughter dance. We arrived at the Cottages for Children festival early so we could wander the booths and admire the gingerbread displays. They are so incredible every year and the girls dashed around declaring their favorites. And then L joined the other dancers and waited their turn for the stage. My parents joined us and we had a fantastic night together.
Once upon a time I danced, I sang, I did theatre. And I loved all of it. I loved that passion of throwing myself into it and getting lost in the energy and flow and letting the music and moment take over. It's thrilling and powerful and feels so incredible free. Dancing made me feel graceful and beautiful and expressive. And as a high school senior, I was not as good as my 8 year old is already. She has talent and passion and excellent instruction. I watched her onstage, how she lit up and knew exactly how that felt. And I am SO grateful she is getting to experience that. She's amazing! The sass and rhythms and expressions and extensions and everything else my tiny little daughter was beaming in delight. I loved it and I love her.
And then we took the kids to a movie to see Moana. And they loved it. And I loved it. And we are so incredibly blessed.
