One of our friends from school brought us to her house. She had a collection of Jumbi Eyes, a type of bead from a tree, that she had spent hours collecting. She took a few handfuls and put them in a bag for us. It made me notice how much we have at home and how little we share because we don’t appreciate the things we have.
Being in Dominica has reminded me realize how lucky I am.
What a wonderful lesson Aldy! If only we could bottle that reminder of gratitude, so that we could all live by it everyday! Miss you sweetie...
ReplyDeleteAlden- I think this justifies the whole trip for your family. You are insightful beyond your years.Nnever forget these feelings of gratitude and humility, for they often quickly disappear once you return home! We love you.
