Day 60: Remembering how precious life can be. I realized that I forgot to post my joy from Monday, so this one is coming late though it was experienced right on time.

My friend’s father is dying and she is handling it with such grace. You wouldn’t believe how open and aware she is even under unimaginable pressure. It’s as if in the midst of suffering she is full of gratitude for having had what she is about to lose. It takes my breath away and has me fully appreciating the people in my life a lot more than the dirty dishes or the To Do list or any of the other stupid little things that steal my attention from what really matters.
