First day of the year well spent!
While sipping my hot choco and enjoying the view of the Empire State Bldg at Whole Foods, I met a stranger, Ms. Lantis, a 71 year-old painter and sculptor from New Jersey who I talked to for almost 2 hours (while waiting for henny who was attending a yoga class).
It’s amazing how life and God sends you an angel, on the first day of the year, to talk to you about life, and to remind you about being grateful about the simple things i.e. waking up each day, having food on the table and the gift of friends & family to turn to in dire need.
I guess I learned that we just have to give a stranger a chance. You may never know the extraordinary teachings they are about to share.
Now, whenever I see the Empire State building in the movies, I will be reminded of Ms. Lantis, who sat beside me for the view.
