Today was Isabel's Spring Recital for her Dance lesson she takes every Tuesday, it usually includes a trip to the bread store for some special bread. Our neighbor Trish is the kind soul who carts these girls (Elena and Isabel). The recital was about 3 hours long TWICE, yes she had two performances.
As I sat and watched these wonderful girls, there was a group of younger girls with a girl who had blond hair, glasses and was a bit stout. She wasn't at all graceful, she was just trying to keep up. It just struck me, THAT IS ME, even to this day, just trying to follow the rest of the girls. As I watched her, I could feel her emotions.
I'm so glad I have an Isabel, she is unique, she never looks around to see what everyone else is doing, she just moves forward, at her own pace. I don't know what she is going to be someday but she won't be like me, she will be something great. If you have a girl in your life who doesn't look at others for the queues, be grateful. She will stumble and bumble through life but she won't spend as much time as I have on questioning my every decision.
You were great today Isabel.
