What's going on everybody, I hope this finds you striving and thriving and doing absolutely amazing. One of the best parts about this time of year is that it's basketball season. And at this juncture in the season, it's wrapping up and playoffs are starting up. But before the playoffs can start up, you have senior night. And if you're a coach, or if you've had a child, and it's their last home game, you know how emotional This is. And I was looking at a social media posts the other day, and it just sent chills up. And it was of this one high school, and it was their senior night. And they let the manager dress for the game. And it's towards the end of the game. And the student body starts chanting for him. And the coach puts this young man into the game. And the video footage shows this young man he gets the ball right outside the three point line, he cocks it over his head, and he lets it fly. And that ball swooshed right through the net. And in that moment, you just see his batch, start jumping up and down. You hear everyone in the stand screaming, and you see this young man, he's backpedaling down the court, his hands are going wild as his fist pumping up in the air. And then the film cuts to another play. And this young man is standing out the three point line again, he takes that ball, Cox it over his head again, lets it fly. And swoosh. It has nothing but the bottom of the net. In the crowd, just goes insane. You see the players on the bench. They're jumping up and down, just going nuts. In the game ends. The band starts playing. Some of the cheerleaders come out onto the floor. In this show man's teammates, fly towards him, surround him and start jumping up and down. And then the whole student body pours out of the stance. They surround them. And you just see this big mass of jumping up and down in celebration of this young man. And it was so touching and so moving and beautiful. And it's special. Because in that moment, they're all celebrating this young man, there was so much joy inside that gymnasium for this individual. And what if we brought that joy to our regular day. Now, there's going to be very few moments that are as special as that. But if you take time and you look around and you look around your classroom, your school, if you look around your home, there's going to be so much to celebrate. So take time today. Recognize others celebrate others, we need that I need to be celebrated you need to be celebrated. And when we celebrate each other, it makes us feel better. It creates a positive atmosphere. And to be told just a simple nod. Just a simple fist bump, just as simple recognition to that person. That moment, can make or break someone's day. That moment can make or break your day. So celebrate the big stuff, celebrate the small stuff, celebrate everything in between. Because if we take time to look around if we take time to feel it. There is so much to celebrate. We've been blessed with another sunrise my friends. Hope you have an awesome day.
