[Med Life] Starting to walk

[Drknockknock]

My daughter is starting to walk by her own. Other then being a great achievement it is really her first steps toward independence. The freedom she experiences when starting to walk is a lesson I wish I could take with me on my day-2-day life. She is one year old now and she is just waddling all over the house.

Something in me wishes to go back to the feeling of accomplishment like that fist step, first word, first anything. It's like magic seeing her face when she "gets it". I wish her great travels and even greater adventures in the future.

I want to try and imagine my every day to be the start of something big, a real achievement. When I wake in the morning I want to feel like today will be the day that I start to walk. I wonder where the observation of each act as a great achievement will take me.
