about finn

Mr. Finn

Now that's joy.  I want to know how to keep peace and joy around me even through life's uncertainties.  I do believe good things will happen for me and that the best is yet to come (wellll... sometimes it's hoping and sometimes it's believing), but I also know that the years will bring pain, death, challenges, setbacks, etc.  I want to learn how to be content despite life's upsets. 

I want it for myself, but I want to know it for my child as well.  He's oozing happiness... like the embodiment of joy.  I don't know where he gets it, but I want him to keep it.  I want to help him keep it. 

I can't give him a perfect world or a perfect life.  And he doesn't require that.  He does, however, need insight into internal joy and peace when his world is rocked.  And it will be.  I can't protect him from that either.  As much as my instinct is to protect him from all potential harm, I know that isn't what he needs. 

That's a large part of why I'm trying to better myself in every way.  I want to be able to show him what I've accomplished and provide an example of how to overcome setbacks and hardship and to be stronger for them.
