I wrote yesterday about how life just became more challenging some.....but the beauty of life always shows up at just the right time......because the truth is, beyond that challenge life is pretty lovely at the moment.....I have some budding romance and falling in love in the wings of my life at the moment, more to come:)......my book chapter that I have written for that collaborative project is set to be published next month....my kitchen renovation is beginning soon.....and my finances have expanded some allowing for accomplishing, and doing what I want to do and my business is growing.......so......:) And today.....well today my son may just snag the Homecoming King title at half time of the game.....:) An aspiration he created for himself.....not one orchestrated by anybody else.....He came home and told me he was going after it....and he has had his eye set on it and has done all he has needed to snag it.....posters....campaigning.....networking...winning over hearts all of it......and I cannot really fully express the BIG deal that is......when Gabe was born in his fragile state.....his 2lbs 10 ounce stature.....I worried about so much.....then as we got his diagnosis of Williams Syndrome, and I knew what that would all mean, or I should say COULD mean, it became even more overwhelming......only wanting his life to be "typical" in every way.....whatever that means right lol:) However his life has been far from typical.......it has been extraordinary.....blessed with huge highs, and soaring high in so many ways.....and his high school life has been the greatest example of that.....he loves all things high school......and his life in high school has been pretty special......He has done all of the sports.....been submersed in youth activities at our church.......being where the teens are.....just living all of it......and for me today marks such a special day for him, whether he wins or not.......he has grabbed his independence.....in a real way.....something that I wasn't sure he would ever do....relying on me for so much all along.....and so I am feeling all the feels this morning....we just tried on the suit that I got him.....fits like a glove....he will look quite dapper today.....with his new fit physique from all of his working out he does, his tan.....and his sweet man boy face:) He will dance the night away too tonight at the homecoming dance....hopefully with his king title in tow:) Cheers to today, no matter the outcome:) I am indeed a blessed human:)
