“Our need for worth is so powerful that whatever we base our identity and value on we essentially ‘deify.’ We will look to it with all the passion and intensity of worship and devotion, even if we think ourselves as highly irreligious. ”

This is such a great post. I love your solution to inadequate feelings – being thankful. I am going to try to put it into practice this week!

In reply to Karol. I can think of a few things, Karol. First of all, don't spend too much time trying to figure other people out. Give yourself permission to move away and focus on new friendships. Sometimes we get in a rut, and it's okay to move through the seasons of life, which sometimes means friendships. It sounds like you are wise and have figured this out already! :)

And I love the “me” – “you” – Sommer! I love the zest of life that you bring to people who you are with!

In reply to Pam. Thanks, Pam. It's easy to get our focus out-of-balance for sure!

In reply to Barbara | Creative Culinary. Great points, Barb. Thanks for sharing your journey and wisdom! Even the people who we think always get invited, or are so important, don't and aren't. It's all about perspective and how we're motivated. I feel very blessed, too. :)
