I agree and I'm interpreting the line in the poem the same way. We can get so caught up with not doing enough of this and that, that we forget to celebrate what we're able to do in the first place. This is a great reminder.💙
YOU SAID A WORD RIGHT HERE: "Lucille Clifton’s poem inspires me to look at my life not as an endless to-do list, but as something to take joy in and to take control of."
And thank you for the reframing - I read that line and focus on the "tried to kill me" part instead of the "celebrate" part. The shift is subtle but is the difference between scarcity and abundance. What a joyous read to start the week, thank you.
