The first one (Be Present) reminds me of our relationship with our grandchildren. They do not expect presents from us. EVER. They see […] You can close your eyes to reality, but not to memories. ~ Stanislaw Jerzy Lec Cleaning out my cupboard where I keep scarves and jewelry was the way I spent a few hours this afternoon. I slowly turned a pair of clip-on earrings and a broach that belonged to my mom over and […] “It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful.” I heard this pithy quotation attributed to Brené Brown, but it actually came from Gratefulfness, The Heart of Prayer by Brother David Steindl-Rast, and it is part of a larger commentary: Ordinary happiness depends on happenstance.
