52 Weeks of Gratitude - Week 11 - Someone Who Inspires You

My Auntie Dorothy inspires me more that anyone else I know. She's 99 (ah-mazing!!!), and just the best person in the entire world. When I was a kid, she was always up for adventures, and as she's aged she handled every challenge with absolute grace. Case in point - She has macular degeneration, and when she started to lose her vision she never complained once. She just ordered a magnifying machine to help her read.

I've learned by her example that how you choose to react to things determines a lot about how they turn out. She's shown me that by being calm and facing life with open eyes, things fall together the way that they are meant to. I can only hope that I can continue to follow her lead and make her proud.
