If anyone wants to add their own, that’d be wonderful.

If not- there is an added sense of connection – but to where and what?

One of them is to create an avenue for enjoyment through accomplishment, A government advisor said to me – : there is no priority that includes enjoyment. I nearly threw my teddy at him. Good God, what other incentive matters more ???
We analyse and forget to enjoy. Well reminded, Marti.
