I watched an episode of my new favorite TV show, "Downton Abbey," last weekend. After hearing a rather unseemly piece of news about her granddaughter, the normally judgemental matriarch was questioned as to why she was taking the news in such an accepting, gentle fashion. She turned and smiled, saying, "Mary's different. She's family."
Belonging may take 2nd place only to being loved for the best feeling ever. My name grounds me in that feeling of belonging; it reminds me that whose I am is much more important than who I am or what I have accomplished.
