Right before Todd died, he asked 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 familiar things differently.
I came across this quote. "The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things."
People asked me why Todd was so happy. I knew part of his happiness came from the way he thought, but when I read this quote, I realized it was how he looked at everyday things.
