Good morning my accomplished DU family,
One of the most amazing things about starting my day here is the access to what is fundamentally an encyclopedia of lived life.
To know that right here, there exists such a vast pool of knowledge and achievement, creating a safe place with such a diverse range as to really welcome not just a wide range of opinion, but in fact, a wide range of human experience that keeps it nourished.
Please have an amazing day, filled with the opportunity to give to this vast pool and to sample from it.
Love, John

We have beautiful weather here in NY after last week's steam bath, we're off to a good start.
That's beautiful. What a great wish for all.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
