God’s love, clean water, air, food, shelter, clothing.

The desire to do or be something amazing.

When it comes to myself, I haven’t figured this out. Thank you for all the reflections here that point to a different path.

Pray, love, laugh and eat a pound of really good chocolate.

Truly listen, without reservation or judgement.

My co-worker, Mary Ann, who shows every day how just a few simple words of encouragement, interest or empathy can be such a gift.

The birth of my son. Because I always wanted to do something amazing, to be relevant and necessary in some way. At that moment, at least, I became everything to someone else. Even if it only lasted a short while (he’s a college student now), I’m grateful for that amazing time of life.

love, laughter, light and music

Thank you 🙂 And I remember that book. One of my treasured memories is reading The Hungry Caterpillar to my son every day for his first year of preschool.
