It is cool when you can witness someone else’s happiness in real time. Like yesterday when Sam was on his Taekwondo green belt grading. He didn’t pass, his selfdefense needed some more practice. But if you could see the pure joy in his eyes when they were to sparr with a “red-belt guy”. Gee, he really really loves it. And that makes me happy.

Or, like today when the Mr became an UEFA a-licensed soccer coach. I am so happy for him. He loves soccer. L-O-V-E-S soccer. And to see a person go for his passion and realize new possibilities he never would otherwise.

A possibility for someone also becomes a possibility for someone else, if you choose to see it that way. And to have this person and passion in my direct family makes me so proud. Proud and happy.
