Positive pride… Elmo… The Goo Goo Dolls

Thought after overcoming the hysteria that accompanied finding this on YouTube:
There’s a fine line between being proud of one’s achievements & succumbing to the pull of hubris (i.e. being “filled with pride” – *sigh* what unfortuante lyrics).

Still… I love Elmo & the Goo Goo Dolls (yes, i did once convince myself that i would be “Mrs Rzeznik” some day… ah, the folly of youth!). So i really love this video! And besides… it’s perfectly okay to feel “really, really good… when you’ve done the best you could!” ♫ Let’s just keep the proper perspective as we raise our “busy little monsters”

Then she packed up her things and headed off... walking, peering through spaces between the oak leaves overhead, as her scarf gaily danced on the wind... her feet, the metronome for an imaginary song. She stopped & thought. Her heart longed for nothing more than to get away, see the world, sing, dance, bask in the changing light & colour at sunset, but her head knew better. 'Pity,' thought she. Then, realising that those dreams were no more than distractions, she turned and ran. Whereto, she could not say. But quiet resolve fuelled her haste, her becoming. Now she sits quietly, still becoming. A thoughtful Becoming: running, stumbling, waiting, becoming... always becoming
