Simple Things

Today I went to Halloween swim meet with my daughter. She participated in three different kinds of competitions. It was her first time of any kind of the "competitive" swimming.

The funny thing was that I was worrying, how she would do, and that she might get disappointed with results. etc., while she was just having fun swimming with her friends and not caring too much about results. She was excited and smiling after every race, no matter how she did.

I saw the happy human being today.


Happy weekend ! :)
