November 10, 2009Our first matter of business is to announce the winner of our giveraway. The lucky person (chosen randomly) is…………..(drumroll please)………….Trish, who shared a great thought about her Pilates move. You can read her comment here. Congrats Trish. You win an autographed copy of my DVD plus some great swag from Kolette.
As I read and appreciated everyone’s little ways they find little bits of joy, I was reminded that the only way we see these things is if we pay attention. We have to watch the things that happen in our lives or we will miss much of the happiness that comes our way.
Coleman is exceptional at this. He watches everything. He doesn’t want to miss out on anything, and does everything to make sure that when something happens he’s either a part of it, or is watching others play their part.
He has a constant smile. I wonder if it’s because he doesn’t let any little gladness slip by.
Your comments and Cole’s resolve have motivated me to refocus and redouble my efforts—‘Cause I don’t want to miss a thing.

I missed the deadline but must share my very favorite appreciative moment of all. It’s not even my story, but I LOVE children with Down Syndrome so it is extra special. Here goes:
A little boy with down syndrome, about 3 years-old, was told he could open 1 Christmas present early. Not paying much attention, his parents didn’t notice he had chosen the wrapped package of batteries that went with a big, multi-functional, expensive toy. He opened them and was delighted. He squeeled with excitement and ran around their house placing new batteries in the remotes and other things he knew they went in!
What a joy this little boy is. IT is inspiring and humbling and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
