"Tis the season to be jolly" This phrase can be seen and heard everywhere you go this time of year. I watch Cora in her play, in her interaction with others and even when she just sits and stares at something that has fascinated her. I realize that she lives in a state of gratitude and remains jolly 95% of the time. As a parent I rejoice in that gift. As a person and adult I can definitely learn from it.
If we all remain in a state of gratitude and strive to be "jolly" we have discovered the secret to happiness and in a sense gotten in touch with the way creator wishes us to be. I have seen Cora share that gift with others. It is usually just in the way she cuddles into someone she knows or the side mouth grin she gives another person that is saying hello. No matter their mood as they approach Cora , she somehow seems to change that mood for the better.
What a gift the children and adults with Down syndrome have been given....for if gratitude and jolliness is the way to touch hearts, they definitely have the uncanny ability to do just that. And it comes to them naturally. Just the way creator intended.
