To celebrate my Dad this weekend, we did the things that make us, us- taking walks, eating at our favorite spots (no one in this family gets tired of Quartino or Dao Thai– happy as darn clams stuffing our faces there) and enjoying the luxury of time spent face to face.
The attitude of the weekend was gratitude- gratitude for time together now, gratitude for our shared past, gratitude for our love of Chicago, gratitude for family.
Whether you celebrated today by buying your dad a tie, throwing steaks on the grill, making a phone call, or if you simply took the time to shake the hand of someone with whom you do not share DNA but who has made a difference in your life, I hope your day was full of gratitude for someone, anyone.
The attitude of gratitude…it’s powerful stuff.
