My 7 yr. is going to be in a play. They type of play that is on a big stage at a nice theater with seating, lighting, sound, the whole shebang!! I am so amazed and proud of his courage. He's not a super precocious kid, he's actually rather shy, but he is dramatic and creative and he has wanted to be a singer or actor since he was 3 yrs. old. Okay, there was a phase when he wanted to be an architect by day and singer/actor at night but he quickly realized that (the night gig would be shady) 2 jobs was too much so now he is back to acting and singing. Today when I picked him up from rehearsal he was beaming. "Mom, they only gave out 3 Starbucks gift cards tonight to the people that were doing the best and I got one!!!!" Yep, pretty much teared up in the dark Porche mini-van because hearing him so happy and watching him be so brave just turns me to mush. So many times I am reminded about what it means to have your heart walk outside your body. Without a doubt today's grateful moment was when be bounded into the mini-van with such pride in his sweet little boy voice.
