I just commented this on another post, not as eloquently as you, but I said that "we're all cut from the same quilt."

Thank you, always, for your heartfelt words, Trudi. 🙏🩵

Great poem, Trudi! I’ve met a lot of strangers this week as I’ve been at the biggest radiology meeting in the world, about 50K participants, held in Chicago. It’s reinforced my belief that we all have some connection, some thread that binds us, and it’s so gratifying and interesting to meet new people. I took the train to Chicago and sat at a table with three complete strangers. During the 5-hour trip, there was a constant conversation between us, and we all agreed when we got to Union Station we were going to take more trains and do something like this again. This week, I’ve sat and talked with strangers from all over the world on the bus, in conferences and at exhibits, and I’ve learned so much about other countries and other jobs and ways of doing things. Everyone has a story for you if you listen!

Morning Carole - I love that you did this! People are fascinating and it’s good to connect with others we have not met before. It is also something I find difficult as I am nervous around strangers! Your story is a reminder to be brave and get myself out there. Thank you.

You’re already out here, so that should give you some courage. I’m sure you have much to share!
