Thank you so much for this breath of fresh air. I needed this today. Actually I need this every day, so I'm going to keep it open, and when I see it, I'll be immediately reminded of it's beautiful, powerful message that brings a heart warming tear.
You should order a copy of that book I referenced, "My Grandfather's Blessings"; it's a collection of very short but powerful essays. A balm for the soul.
I loved reading this with "new eyes". Love the reminder to be present which obviously helps our eyes see what we may have been missing, especially in nature. And I really like Dr. Remen's 3 questions to ponder at the end of the day. Thank you for sharing this. (and thank you Proust also). :)
When I wrote my first book, I tried to channel Proust's message through the main character who gains a fresh perspective on her life after defeating mental illness. Dr. Remen's book, "My Grandfather's Blessings," places the same message front and center: illness, in particular, is a powerful force for stripping away whatever is meaningless in life and recentering on what really matters. I highly recommend it!
