Putting Yourself Out There

Merry Christmas!  What a wonderful day in the Younghusband household.  As you can see, my daughter loves her new scooter.  She had no problems unwrapping the gift, assembling it, and jumping out of the house to try it out in her robe and pajamas.  What the?  I love that about my kid.  There is much to learn from her.  First, if you love something… show it.  Don’t be shy.  I may not share the same love, but so what?  It’s not about me.  It’s about her.  Second, jump in with two feet… there is no shame.  You can’t over plan the situation.  She could have taken a shower, brushed her teeth and hair, and get ready for the day before stepping outside.  Does that make the situation any better?  Nope.  In fact, it might make the situation worse.  Third, seize the day.  Why not live in the now?  Be present.  That is the best present of all.  No planning or projecting could have made this moment any better.  #thankyouZoe #wheeeee #vulnerability #joy
