Life is going to be hard sometimes. There will be stress, there will be heart break, and there will be failure. But in between all that will be an endless supply of things to enjoy. You have a family that is so excited to have you around. You will make more friends that you can count. The world is your oyster (Don't be disappointed when you find out what an oyster is, it's just an expression. Oysters are slimy and taste weird. They can make pearls, but from what I can tell no on really likes pearls except old rich ladies).
Between all that big picture stuff you will have to find your own little sources of joy. Sometimes it will be as simple as finding your hands, or your junk if you are a boy. Sometimes it will be more involved like developing a hobby. It might even be just making "to do lists" if you take after one of your parents*. I encourage you to take time to develop these little pockets of happy in your life. Who knows, you might even end up being the three time defending Toads Chili Cook On People's Champion!
And yes, this post is more for me than you. Sorry.... but not really. If there is anyone in this world who can milk a meaningless achievement it's me.
*your mom*
