One of my friends recently posted this link in a tweet of his. I decided to check it out, and what I discovered was not only a beautiful story, incredible photographs, and rich writing; I learned something. [ If you are reading this right now and thinking this is just another cheese ball post, just give it a chance. ] I was crying in my apartment by myself, it was so powerful. (this ability to choke up at small things like this comes from my mom's side of the family. My mom and uncle can cry during an infomercial)How often do we say to ourselves, "I appreciate _____ so much more, now that I don't have ____." To learn to appreciate life as it comes, to appreciate the good and bad times, to be content... It is one of those lessons you have to learn over and over again. So let this be another reminder, to appreciate the ordinary.
