Yep its finally time to talk about how amazing it has been watching my son grow over the last 2 months. Nolan is growing quickly and smiled for the first time today. There have been half smiles and kinda smiles but today was the first day where he smiled for an extended period of time. It was awesome! It seems like such a tiny inconsequential thing but it made me realize how rare and special a moment it was. It's the moment, in fact, that I would like to never see end. If all else is trouble and strife, as long has he has that smile, I will too. It was more infectious than a yawn.
It also begs the thought about how long the smiles will last? Where do they go? Will someone else take it away? How come certain people never stop smiling? Why depression?
I obviously don't have the answers but I have to say that the pursuit of happiness has been a common thread in both my life and my wife's... and I hope it is in yours as well. Just try and remember that things are never as bad as they seem and if they are, then they can only get better!
I wouldn't say that I am the eternal optimist (I complain about a lot of things in fact) however it pays to keep it in perspective. Have a great day!
