Quote of the day:

When I first suggested to [her] that I could convert, it was the same sensation as I had when you used to throw a blanket over me on the couch … then coming to the services was like a space of freedom for the length of the service … a time when I could remember myself … [Anna, chatting with me this morning on Facebook]

Once, my step-daughter said to me that she loved to be sick at my house when she was a child, because I would cover her with a blanket on my couch. 

About 9 years ago I wrote my mother a letter of admiration, gratitude, and love, and she replied:

This letter is meant to be an answer to an overwhelming letter that you sent me … there have been many times in my life that I felt like I was standing alone on the top of a cold mountain with very strong winds roaring around … but now your letter has made me feel a warm soft blanket wrapped around me and great security …

I realize this morning that these days, I need to throw a blanket over my Self. 

As Sheldon Kopp says: Learn to forgive yourself again and again and again and again …
