A quick side note on my part. Listening to Karen Carpenter’s voice and words was complicated by my knowing of her life-ending struggle with anorexia. This in no way is intended to criticized today’s fine post. Rather an observation about connection, self acceptance, and belonging. All traits that support living in gratitude for others, our lives.
More on topic, I love the Angel, Karen’s?, sitting on top of the world! Tal’s remark warmed me both literally and figuratively. Nią’s struggle to select a synonym makes perfect sense. Calliope’s saying “all is right in our world” reminds me of having a mixture of gratitude and hope in our hearts.
The quote alone by Howard Thurman offers a fine formula for how to live our lives. Reading in WiKi offered a rich context for his life’s work. Thank you so very much, Gail! 😊

I keep bumping into reminders that truly loving and accepting oneself is a precursor to belonging everywhere and nowhere. (Hat tip to Maya Angelou)
Thank you Gary for always being here with encouragement and shares that nudge my thinking.
