Pema Chodron said, "Appreciate everything, including the ordinary." These words ring true to me - and when I think of Harry's Aunt Dorothy, I think she is the perfect example of someone who appreciated the ordinary. She always had a smile - even as she was complaining about someone or something, you got the sense that she was happy to be alive to complain about it!!
There's a lesson here. And when I posted the photo, I noticed that Genieve is there is the corner. And Genieve was also someone who truly appreciated everything that life had to offer. She was limited in so many physical ways, but she always had a laugh and a smile for you.
I am trying to learn from this little foray into the world of gratitude!
