I had a genuinely happy moment today! It's the first time in many months that I can remember being happy and being completely in the moment. It wasn't until after it happened that I noticed it and was so surprised by the feelings I just had!
My daughter is away for a high school track meet- State Championships- and she's there to compete in High Jump. She's an amazing, graceful athlete and beautiful to watch, but at 5' 4" tall, she's on of the smallest jumpers!
I was able to watch some of the meet via a live stream but they didn't show coverage of the high jump event, which I was really upset about. I did see her several times, but just while she was sitting or standing around. I was also tracking a live text feed of the results and when I saw hers pop up- it it showed that she finished 6th in the State! She jumped 5'2"- her personal record!
By the time I saw the results she was off the field and we were able to text back and forth a few times. I was so excited for her and so proud! And those were the only feelings I felt at that moment. I had forgotten that those kind of feelings existed....
