The Kindness of Recognizing Effort

"Appreciation is the highest form of prayer, for it acknowledges the presence of good wherever you shine the light of your thankful thoughts."
~ Alan Cohen

Even on Mothers' Day, many mothers and grandmothers host celebrations -- events that of course require planning and prepping, cooking and cleaning up.  And so it was that one 10-year-old boy forever endeared himself to his grandmother as he watched her get ready for a celebration at her home.  "You sure do a lot of work for this brunch," he observed.  I am guessing that this grandmother appreciated that comment more than any gift she received.
