Well Worth the Effort
by Ann Trainor Domingue
The feeling of accomplishment of any kind, feels something like this image. First time riding a bike without help, removing a chicken egg from under the hen without scaring her, touching a snakeskin and not screaming, taking an airplane flight for the first time, taking the winning shot of a basketball game. Then when someone you love finds their way, discovers there is much more to life, and believes in themself, it feels like joy for those around them. And hopefully feels like hope.
