I’m tired—but it’s the good kind of tired. The kind that comes after a full weekend of memories, movement, and meaningful moments.
Today was special. I got to take my daughter to her very first dance competition, and it felt like life coming full circle. I remembered being in high school, captain of my own dance team, and daydreaming about having a daughter who danced too. And here I am, watching her shine on stage.
Her team didn’t place—but that wasn’t the point. She looked so happy up there, totally in her element, and I couldn’t have been more proud. Watching the other dancers brought back a wave of nostalgia, and I loved every second of it. We even talked about next year, and I promised her we’d make a whole weekend of it. We’ll book the nice hotel nearby, bring the whole family, enjoy the pool and hot tub, and soak in every part of the experience together. When she asked again later if we could really do it, I said, without hesitation, “Yes! We can do that.”
And I meant it.
When we got home, I took a warm bath and imagined the joy of that future weekend—the laughter, the meals, the cheering section. It’s already on its way to me, I can feel it.
Tonight I’m grateful for:
- A weekend filled with both joyful chaos and quiet moments
- Laughing with my oldest son
- An early bedtime
- Time alone this morning with my daughter
- A short afternoon nap
- My husband braving the freezing temps to take our son to baseball
- A delicious, home-cooked dinner
- Time with my mom
