Common Things

by Kay Heitsch
"The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things."
Right before Todd died he ask me something I will never forget. He asked, "Mom, have you ever noticed the beauty of the bark on trees? Every tree's bark has a different kind of texture." I remember I gave him a quizzical look and answered, "No, I have never noticed."
It's odd, but from that day on I started to look at common things in a different way.
People asked me why Todd was so happy. I knew part of his happiness came from the way he thought, but today when I read this post on Pinterest I realized it was the way he looked at common things too.
