Wonderful essay and remembering how life is only worth living in the giving to others. You write so eloquently and love this line "I gave myself love, loving myself for all I was and still wasn’t." That line right there hit me hard. Thanks for these lovely words.

Kirk, thanks for the kind words pal. I’m so glad that line resonated with you. Up until that point in time in life I spent a lot of mental energy shaming myself and not loving myself for my “flaws.” I discovered that one of the greatest gifts we can give (there’s that word) ourselves is to love ourselves, unconditionally, no matter what.
It was really nice to be with you this weekend. There we many folks and I would have loved some more time together. Next time or maybe a separate trip Karen and I can make to SLC.
