Mystery

"We're ensconced in a world of ineffable mystery." Jan Phillips

I heard recently that, when Stephen Hawkins was interviewed by the actor portraying him in the new film, The Theory of Everything, that Hawkins is reported as saying he is grateful every day for his life.  Imagine!  A man who can move only a muscle on his cheek -- with which he talks via a computer and moves his wheelchair -- saying he is grateful every day of his life for life!  That is a good lesson for me to consider.  It is easy to take life for granted, or - as caregivers - even to take life as a burden to be endured.  What if, instead, we consider life as an ineffable mystery for which to be grateful?  Let's try that attitude out and see how it works for us.
