It's the Climb

  • James has enjoyed spending time this summer,
  • rock climbing.
  • He's good at it too.
  • In the beginning, he held back a lot,
  • not willing to make the final stretch for the top.
  • However, when I gave him the incentive
  • of an ice cream cone from McDonald's
  • when he reached the top,
  • it only took a few more tenacious climbs
  • to reach the goal.
The Climb by Miley Cyrus, is quite symbolic of James' climb (and I don't mean the one on the rock!).
  • "The struggles I'm facing
  • The chances I'm taking
  • Sometimes might knock me down
  • But no, I'm not breaking
  • I may not know it
  • But these are the moments that
  • I'm gonna remember most, yeah
  • Just gotta keep going
  • And I, I got to be strong
  • Just keep pushing on
  • 'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
  • I'm always gonna wanna make it move
  • Always gonna be a uphill battle
  • Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
  • Ain't about how fast I get there
  • Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
  • It's the climb, yeah!"

Wow! Lots of posts! Yes, now that you do point it out, that song does relate well to James. I am glad he found something he enjoys- I always liked rock climbing too!

Hopefully jalen grows out of the firework thing- eventually, right????

Happy birthday Christine, it's so fun to be 16!! Lots of new things to experience!
