What a Wonderful World

There are days when you wake up and just feel good about things. Today is one of those days. It may or may not have something to do with the fact that I slept for ten hours last night but regardless today I just look feel so blessed. I was watching last night's 'America's Got Talent' this morning and one of the contestants sang "What a Wonderful World". That song is one of those songs that can just make you smile. But I noticed a line this time that I had never really paid attention to before.

"I hear babies cry. I watch them grow. They'll learn much more than I'll ever know and I think to myself, 'What a Wonderful World.'"

That pretty much sums up how I feel today. I look at my children and see in them limitless possibility. I can literally see them learn things from day to day. I have seen them take steps and heard them say first words. I can sit back and watch them figure out how things work and test their boundaries and limits. It's really probably the most amazing thing that I've ever had the honor to witness.

So while I hope to do something amazing one day I know that I already have done something amazing in its own right. Even though billions of people have done it before me I still look at my two boys and know that they are miracles. They are my legacy. And for that I am proud of myself. And I do think to myself, "What a Wonderful World"!.
