They make my life larger.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;such a beautiful statement!  and so very true.  in spite of the hardships we are all facing today, i am so grateful to have a community to lean on, share experiences with, and to draw inspiration and courage from.  i see with such clarity how rich and full my life is.  and it has nothing to do with my bank account or wallet.  being surrounded by others who have made the same committment to living a life focused on art is such a rare and gorgeous way to navigate through this world.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thank you.  :)</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6338970954520622284/249989988424518710/comments/default/8158400658034582653'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6338970954520622284/249989988424518710/comments/default/8158400658034582653'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.womenarts.org/2009/11/being-thankful-for-arts.html?showComment=1259195311098#c8158400658034582653' title=''/><author><name>angela simione</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05657554247759367168</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blog.womenarts.org/2009/11/being-thankful-for-arts.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6338970954520622284.post-249989988424518710' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6338970954520622284/posts/default/249989988424518710' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
