The Beauty Around You

I got an email from my step-sister today - she doesn't blog (though she really should) she just sends us a group update now and then. I love getting them, I love her writing and I love her outlook.

Here is a gem from the latest dispatch:

Twenty minutes ago I was on my way home from work when a woman, easily in her 80s, with a soft "jewish" accent, said to me, "do you want to see something good?" This being New York I hesitated...but she took my arm and pointed toward a tree, "do you see that there?" and then another tree, "and that?" and a third, "and look at this one right here...Isn't nature beautiful? Kids play here...the cars go by, and nature keeps growing...and it's always good."

And I smiled my way home.

And I've been smiling ever since.
