I love the thoughtful quotes sprinkled in. This is a wonderful reminder that people can lead rich lives anywhere, with some simple help, interest, and kindness from (and towards) others.
“It takes a village”, right? 🥰
I’m having that catchy, beloved Sesame Street song loop in my head now,
Yes it takes a village absolutely! And all the people “that you meet when you’re walking down the street”, often add so much to our day, and brighten our mood. I love your reminder of that song and I’m glad you found the piece insightful. Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers— so ahead of their time ❤️ Thanks, Jeanette!
So agree, Jocelyn. Isn’t it astounding how even these brief associations and connections add to our happiness and fulfillment? Incredibly powerful, really!
What a beautiful picture of community, Gayle. These little communities exist all over the place. They’re so hopeful.
Thank you, Emily. It’s amazing the life-giving ( and joy-giving) force they provide. Thanks for reading!
Yes! They're where we spend most of our lives, I think.
What an enjoyable, insightful piece!

I’m having that catchy, beloved Sesame Street song loop in my head now,
“Who are the people in your neighborhood,
in your neighborhood,
in your neighborhood?
…
They’re the people that you meet
When you’re walking down the street
They’re the people that you meet each day!”

Connectedness and belonging are so powerful for all of us 💕
They sure do!
I feel a bit sad when I think of what folks miss by not being aware — not “ looking up”. They are so hopeful, as you say, Emily!
