After barn chores this morning we went out for breakfast and then on to grocery shopping - we can do both in our little home slice grocery co-op. I chose a ham and cheese biscuit because I'm smart like that. The kids chose a delicious tub of full fat vanilla yogurt to share. After eating a while Henry asked Riley, "Is this tub half full or half empty?" Riley paused and then answered with a shrug, "It's the same either way."
Which, okay, is so totally obvious. But I've never heard anyone give that answer before. That answer warms the cockles of my Buddhist soul. It suggests a person who sees life clearly, accepts reality, and is willing to enjoy what is. Henry and I just looked at each other across the table and smiled.
In case no one has noticed, I love these people.

I've noticed. ;-)
That certainly was a great response.
