When I realized that there was no Thought for the Day - June 22 already running, I felt so... sad! that there was none, and at the same time, so appreciative of all that there have been, and I especially thought of Peter T.

I don't know why, Peter, but you have been much in my thoughts this week, and I hardly know you. But I want to say what your "Thought for the Day" threads have meant to me.

Sparkles of positivity dropped into a still pool that ripple out all around me once I read them...

Images in response to yours and everyone else's, flooding into my mind as I feel a response forming, that were asleep in a back room and not sensed, until the thread called them out...

A deep respect (reverence really) for what people feel and experience and think, and how they convey it, and what is revealed as important to them, and how precious each individual is, all glimpsed around the edges of the first posting and the responses...

A quality of your words that is so clear, so evocative, so powerful and yet so gentle...

Thank you for thinking of Mudcat when you have things to share, and for releasing us to share with you and each other.

So now I am wondering-- What do others get out of these "Thought for the Day" threads? How do they impact you, and the world round about you?
