As many of you know, each Friday I look back over the previous week and write about the special moments that I have experienced that I am grateful for. Many weeks I am writing about the very simple pleasures of life. This was an unusual week. It was filled with several very big special moments and events. It was a week filled with celebrations and special moments and I am so grateful that I was able to share them with some very special people in my life. I was there when my son told his sons that the new baby would be a boy. I could see my oldest grandson's eyes light up and his smile get bigger as he said, "Wow, that is great. I was sure it was going to be a girl who would cry all of the time." Now there will be three brothers to play together and make plans as they often tell me they are doing. They have even created a game called Plans which I get to play everytime we get together.
I was also privileged to call a good friend Doctor after she received her Doctorate in Education. This was a goal of hers and she made it because it was one of the many dreams that she wanted to accomplish and because of all of her hard work and dedication she made her dream come true.
Another friend received a well deserved promotion to principal which we celebrated this week. The children at the school where she is principal will be so lucky to have her as their leader. I know that with all of the many hard decisions she will have to make in the coming years she will always do what is in the best interest of the children.
I also got to celebrate my daughter-in-law's birthday as well as the birthday of a good friend of over thirty years. So it has been an incredible week of celebrations.
As I reflected over the week, I was filled with awe when I thought of all of the wonderful events that I was able to share with so many people this week. They are all at different places in their lives but they all have one thing in common. They all have hopes and dreams and they have worked hard to accomplish their goals and make their dreams come true. Each one of them has a special place in my heart and I am so grateful they are part of my life. This has truly been a week of special moments that I am very grateful for.
