Life's small celebrations


Tonight we attended the Arlington Marching Band Awards night.  Alex is no longer a rookie!  I am so proud of him and all he has accomplished.  Celebrations such as these are sometimes lost on Alex....he's a guy and sometimes the moments that I deem to be truly important pass him by unnoticed.  Or maybe because I'm his Mom and I remember all we have gone through to get to this point.  It is a celebration.  He took on a task and he worked hard.  He was committed to it, took ownership of it, developed a responsibility for it.  I celebrate a wonderful season and all of the growth I have seen develop in Alex.

“there is nothing more beautiful in life 
than celebrating the talents, dreams, 
joys, and accomplishments of another being 
to see - and call attention to - the best in someone else...”
