Today's blog post will be short. Why (you might be thinking)? Because I'm off to a party...but not just any party. I'm going to join the celebration of my mom's amazing teaching career.
What I am most excited to see is something I hope you can relate to: I am joyously anxious to watch everyone lavish praise on my mom. I find overwhelming joy in watching the people I love get celebrated. For instance, today on facebook, there have been four different posts about my mom's last day of teaching. Each one has been "liked" and commented on by former students, coworkers, and people who have met my mom. I have found myself frantically checking my wall all day, so that I can keep up with who is acknowledging this milestone in my mom's life. My mom also called today to share a surprise that she got from her 8th grade geometry class. It was such a fun phone call to receive!
I truly hope you find yourself in a position to celebrate with others...and to take joy in the festivity! That selfless pleasure is fulfilling and contagious.
And who doesn't want to be a person who is filled with joy and loves sharing it with others?
