Why Is Ramona So Unflappably Serene?

 


            I think that if you asked her, she would say that her mother told her, and she has told Cherry, that counting your blessings really works. Just that process has a way of diminishing the other stuff. It’s practically mystical.
            If I asked her, she would probably tell me that her greatest blessing is Ralph. Of course. She knows as well as she knows that the sky is up, that she can rest in his constant good humor, and absolute good intentions. She orbits him like a planet does the sun, and that sun is always facing her with a smile.
            Wisdom is its own reward. She is wise, in that she understands her position in Creation. She doesn’t wish she was someone else. She doesn’t want more than she has. She does her best with what life has given her.
            This of course, comes back to a grateful heart. A grateful heart is so massively constructive that it’s hard to adequately express it.
            Ah, but like all of us, she’s human. She’s not some phony plaster saint.
            You remember the time she took a rock to the drone with a camera on it? The girl  has some spunk!
            Remember the time she wanted Thaga to make her a dress? She had to let that go, and it was hard for her.
            That’s all, just a thought for Catfurday. I wanted to take a minute to appreciate Ramona.
            Ralph didn’t put me up to this, but he agrees with every word! In fact, he told me so.
