When's the last time you were this happy?

Behold, a girl who picked up the sticks at two, and has played the drums like a rock star from the age of eight.  And that's not just me, that's Robert Plant, watching her play Led Zeppelin's "Good Times, Bad Times."  (Her full video is here.)  

And she's gotten even better.  check this out from 3:10 to 3:20:


But this is where she just radiates such exultant joy that I go back to see her do it again, and again, and again:


Seriously, when was the last time you were doing something that made you this happy?  I was never this happy singing, or writing, or playing trumpet, and I loved Purcell's trumpet concertos.  She just loves percussion, and I hope and pray that nobody ruins it for her, so she can continue to love it like this for the rest of her life.
