"One of the sanest, surest, and most
generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of
others."
~ Robert A. Heinlein
My daughters
have a friend whose gifts had not previously included athletics. Smart, articulate and resourceful, their
friend had been known to pass on overly strenuous activities. But recently, she joined her school's soccer
team. One of my daughters shared the
news with great pride and said that we had to go see her play in her first game,
even though my children are no longer in the same school. And watch her play we did. With a bow in her hair and a pink Nike swoosh
on her sneakers, she ran across the soccer field as my daughters took photos
and cheered her on. I was delighted that
my daughters could enjoy someone else's success.
