The Wonder of Potlucks
Ah Valentine's Day...
Everyone rushing home to celebrate. Richard and I have never given much importance to Valentine's Day, not for lack of affection, but simply because we consider every day to be special together.
However, Valentine's Day was very nice today at work. There was a potluck with decorated tables and lots of hearts and good cheer everywhere. It made the day quite special.
There is something about sharing food which makes gatherings more meaningful and stimulates conversation. A new doctor took the time to sit with people she didn't know and get to know them a little, the tablecloth made the room where we've been cooped up working for the last five weeks just a tad more comfortable, and there were a lot more smiles and laughs in the air.
And it's everybody's effort.
Cheers to everyone for today!

Evil in the World
Here's a different perspective that I just ran across.
David Aaron, a rabbi and writer, says, "Kabbalah is teaching that the main feature and advantage of this world is the evil in it. This world was not created for what is already good in it. This world was created to be a forum for a new and higher form of goodness — the goodness born out of overcoming evil and choosing to do good."
Most of us think the opposite - that the world was created all good and that humankind ruined it. Interesting....
