I am grateful for a Teri

Files under gratitoodz | Posted by Cary Darling
Everyone tries to define this thing called Character. It’s not hard. Character is doing what’s right when nobody’s looking.

Everyone needs a Teri in their life.   One of those quiet unassuming friends who day by day makes subtle changes to their life that amount to huge progress the likes that most never achieve.  No fan fair, no need for recognition, no blog to write about it on ;) .

I’ve known Teri for a few years now, but have never quite had the opportunity to really get to know her until she stayed at our house for a few days about a week ago.  She’s a walking talking example of someone living in the moment, someone to admire and model.

We spent quite a bit of time talking about a number of things in life, and the care she took to take the time to sit down and share her life experiences with me will always be appreciated.  They say if you can take away just one thing from a book that you can apply to your life, then that book was well worth the price on the cover.  Well I tell you what, Teri’s an open book, it was all free, and I got the advice of a lifetime.  I am still applying a lot of it right now, and living a slower, more comfortable paced life because of it.

Thank you Teri for all you did, and all you said.  You made an impact on my life, and are someone to be admired for all that you have done for yourself.

    Cary,
    Sometimes the best gift we receive in life is the gift of a new friend. Teri sounds like a very special person.
