Eddie learned this from our 4 year old daughter. She is always pretty happy, very optmistic, and fun to be around. Over the long weekend while Brian was working on is 100th day of school dots shirt, Emily made a shirt too. Hers had hearts all over it. She loves Valentines Day. She was having trouble picking out something to wear to school today, so I suggested her heart shirt that she had made. She also picked out pink pants and her other long sleeve heart shirt to wear underneath, since it was cold outside. Then she insisted on little piggy tails, and picked out red bows. She told Eddie and I before she left that everyone was going to love her new shirt and think her bows were very cute. On the way in to school, she again told Eddie that everyone was going to think she was so cute they would chase her around.
When she went in she took her lunch back to the refridgerator, and then started running around giggling. And guess what? Everyone started running after her. She is a born leader, but more importantly, she made things happen today! She didn't wait around for someone to tell her that her shirt was cute, or they loved her hair bows, she attracted the attention, she fullfilled her own destiny.
I hope each day that she continues to make things happen in her life. What a great example and inspiration for the rest of us to follow.
