Since we have been home from our vacation in Italy, we've seen a lot of my parents, Sam and Martha Endicott. A health problem has arisen for Dad, and everyone is dealing with it in the best fashion. Carefully considering options, weighing risks, seeking the optimal care, and staying cheerful, Mom and Dad are an inspiration to me.
While we were in Italy, in fact, I received this e-mail message from my mom, which was such a beautiful little piece, I want to share it with everyone:
Your blogs are fantastic and it sounds as if your trip is everything you could have hoped for and maybe even more! It makes Dad and me very happy to picture you biking all over and enjoying the beauty of that wonderful area. Although it makes any report from the home town seem pretty mundane in comparison one also needs to be able to appreciate the beauty of a simple day full of routine tasks because that is what 95% of life consists of. Yesterday and today are lovely October days so that is worth reporting. The highlight of my morning has been finding a poor little moth beating its wings against my kitchen window in a desperate attempt to return to the big outdoor world - and being able to open the window for him to set him free! It was not as easy as it sounds because he was at the top part and I was afraid to brush him down lest I injure him in some way. It took a bit of time but mission accomplished and little moth is out and about now so I can get on with wiping down the counters and other good tasks of that sort. We do what we can, right?

This is a great post - very Zen! I read it a while a go but not in place where I could leave a comment.
