Dear Friends,
According to an Iranian proverb, the potter always drinks from a cracked pot.
Last night, to my horror, my older son who lives in Toronto, declared that he cannot be appreciative of his blessings. He knows they are there somewhere, but he simply cannot talk himself into being grateful! Unfortunately, my antidote "it can be worse" doesn't rekindle his enthusiasm. What he has is invisible - what he doesn't have is bigger than life!
This morning, staring at the blank screen, what can "Miss Sunshine" be possibly grateful for? Perhaps the fact that her son doesn't see any reason not to live, yet!
Today, I'm wishing myself strength - you can have whatever you like!
Oh Lili, some burdens are just harder to bear than others. I am thinking of you, and sending all my positive energy your way.
