joy.
so many emotions can coexist with this above state of being.
you can be crying, laughing, humbled, stunned, exhausted, envigorated... AND joyful.
how complex is the human spirit!
multi-dimensional, layered, deep, mysterious (both to others and ourselves)...
in my experience, most of the time true, pure joy in its nature is contagious.
the people surrounding you when your rivaling emotions ensue in this state, feel alongside you.
{sigh}...
I love that.
and so I circle once more around to what is a main theme in my life (and this blog), that of trying to be mindful of my intentionality of setting and social sphere.
impressions are easily made on this sensitive spirit of mine.
a couple of celebrity kids were born this week.
one little kiddo who appeared on the scene is called winnie. this baby girl was a surprise to all of us who follow mr. fallon and are entertained nightly by his hilarity and youthful exuberance. jimmy is truly one of THE best. he is that guy who you just know you would be friends with if you ever got to bump into him and share some every day experience like catching a foul ball at a ball game or seeing someone walk into a glass door by mistake.
he reminds me of my brother and all his cultural references hit a home run for me.
how thankful I am for the laughs that he creates within me with his gift of silliness. delight.
what a great young life leader jimmy would be.
I mean, have you seen NIGHT NEWS NOW? well, here you go.
I love that we did not know he and his wife were expecting. fantastic job of keeping life real and not glamourized and chatted about over the internet every second. I am all the more impressed with this secrecy with the amount of press he is now receiving with his growing popularity.
well done, fallons!
(I feel compelled to send him a congratulations card, as I am genuinely excited for him and his wife.)
but we all know I connect and get attached. haha.
watch his giddy monologue from last night. just makes me grin at the tv.
"another" one we heard about for months before he arrived. george is kind of a big deal in one of my former homes, and understandably so. how magical does a monarchy feel to us as americans who feel it as a fairy tale in a book we read as kids.
william and kate are lovely, I think. they are the most modern royals to date, and though they are very much entrenched in tradition, respecting their heritage and history, they are also mindful that they are people, just like everyone else.
lovely.
elation irrepressible.
pure.
joy.
look at kate's glow.
jimmy is still wearing his hospital bracelet and keeps looking down and squirming.
in the spotlight, they both are, and yet both are intentional to guard their families from overexposure, striving for normalcy in the midst of informing and appreciating "their public".
classy.
healthy perspective.
so.
so.
good. (in the words of a friend--one whom I actually know--who oozes joy, as well.)
thanks for letting us in on a bit of your joy, HRHs and fallons.
may the weekend be joy-filled for you and yours...
cheers,
kb.
great post Kym! I watched the video of Jimmy and he really is just giddy, so adorable. miss you friend :)
