Celebrating what is.
( not a yoga post) 🤷♀️
Max and I had so much fun shopping for a grad suit. Not going to lie, we have struggled, as have most of us during the last few years. But I am determined to lean into what is good, small victories, lessons and tiny miracles. There are many, especially when we are present. His dad, was a suit guy. He loved shopping for them, buying them , wearing them. He gave away an entire closet full of them the day we moved to Costa Rica. I talked about it with Max laughing about his dads humour, passion and yes, vanity. 😉. I wanted Max to enjoy it like Don did. The sales associate stayed with us for 3 hours, laughing and listening to stories. Max and he got to speak in Spanish. I truly felt as if Don was there. We brought him in our hearts. Max was deciding between a final two, when he came out in the blue suit, the lights in the dressing area started to flash on and off. I smiled and said "your dad likes this one". Our associate asked what was going on? I said it's his dad. And I believe that, I truly do. We celebrated yesterday together. We were happy. We are allowed to remember, to talk about loved ones and be joyful. Life can be hard and joyful at the same moment. I think I've learned to live in moments. Feel them fully. I don't remember days, years, months, but incremental beautiful moments within them. I hope all the grads have many happy moments. I'm proud of each of them for getting through an unprecedented time. I'm proud of them wether they go to post secondary, trades, get a job or don't have a clue. Worth is not measured by any of that. It's measured within you. I love his peers. You are all more than enough. Celebrating what is and a unique , resilient class of 2022. Wishing you a lifetime of joy filled moments along with the rest. Trust good things are to come🙏
