Taking on LIfe

7.18.07

She takes on life with a presumption of excellence. "This is the best day ever!" her common refrain.

She dances her steps, refusing classes but insisting on teaching me what she knows.

"Mom, what was your favorite part of that movie?" she asks.

She squeals in delight at slapstick and punches her dad in the stomach daily as part of his fitness regimen.

She puts on a show, but keeps things to herself.

She loves this life and imagines so many others.

She is hope and possibility.
