I
listened to this wonderful podcast last week on a show called “10% Happier” as Dan
Harris interviewed Father Greg Boyle. One of Father Boyle’s
mantras is to 1) anchor yourself in the present moment and 2) delight in the
person in front of you.
On
Sunday, as the boys were hiking the Enchantments, Jaime and I knocked on Rachel
Clifton’s door to give her a hug. Rachel moved to Leavenworth a few years ago
and is Julie Canlis’ mom, and Jaime & I both have connections to Julie from
many moons ago. Anyway, Rachel was so gracious and invited us in for a bit to
catch up and sent us down innertubes down the river by their house with snacks
and drinks. She was such a wonderful example of delighting in the person in
front of you (even unexpected guests who show up at your doorstep!), and she blessed
us more than she could ever know with her warmth and kindness. So very grateful
for people who embody such presence and delight.
