Today, I am at home. I have done a lot today. There are some things that I just did what I could on, and kept moving. My friends are at a convention. I should have been there, as well. They are moving on, and excited. I should have been there to be with them and praise their triumph. Achieving something, no everyone can do, is a triumph. Excelling at something very few people can not do, is worth celebrating.
To see photos of them in their glory, makes me smile. I should be there with them. I did not play a part in their victory. I should have been there to encourage them further. I should have been there to encourage them to keep going. I should have been there to praise them.
It is amazing to see them in their glory achieving what they wanted to achieve. I can feel it from the photographs. There are real emotions being expressed. It is an expression of sheer joy. They were there to cheer me on, when I did something in the right direction. I did not help them achieve their triumph but witnessed them struggle. I was supportive when I could have been. There will be no triumph until I can achieve what I set out to do. There will be success. There will be success in the little victories. Celebrating small wins. I hope my kids see me dream, struggle, and have victories. I hope they are triumphant, too.
