Today is my nephew Flynn’s 11th Birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY FLYNN!!
There was an all day pool party, pizza, fruit and cake. Lots of friends and family having a great time. This is what it’s all about, celebrating life.
As I watched people having a good time today I could help but think that we don’t celebrate life enough. We tend to trap ourselves into situations that are not ideal and fail to see the exit. We only get one shot at this thing so why not make it the best shot we possibly can. Let’s celebrate as much as we can!
My nephew is a great person and I’ll tell you what I like the most about him. It’s that he knows who he is and isn’t afraid to dance to a different beat if that is what makes him feel good about himself and makes him happy. How many times have we followed the same path as everyone else because we were too afraid to dance on our own?
Let’s encourage each other to keep reaching for the stars. Don’t scoff at dreams or think they are impossible. Nothing is impossible when you put your mind to it. When you help others reach their dreams you will find that you too are reaching yours.
Happy Birthday Flynn! Keep dancing your dance!
Matt. You said it, and clearly you know the delightful Flynnie so very well! How beautiful was that smile as we sang him happy birthday. What a beautiful gathering of (the other) Leah’s friends and family as we celebrated both of them being in our lives. It was truly joyous and I love how your pictures captured that!
@Leah – Flynn is such a good kid and it was a pleasure to see him light up like that on his birthday. He’s so talented and I think my sister has been doing a great job of bringing him up and teaching him great values. It was really nice to meet you at the party.
