Antoine: Happy name day and birthday!

How can Bambi go to sleep without highlighting the forthcoming evening of Saint Anthony’s Day?

Yes, it is already January 16 at her dad’s end. Much love to him. May Saint-Anthony keep protecting and blessing him day after day.

From the bottom of the heart, warm wishes of well-being too to ALL the Tonys, Tanios, Anthonys, Antoines, and Antoinettes of the larger beloved family in Beirut and among the friends-like-family in Canada, France, and Dubai.

Of note, “Anthony the Great” is renowned for his inspiring humility. As well described by Dr. Dimitrios Tsatiris in Psychology Today (2023), “humility is the acceptance that you are no better or worse than anyone else” (https://tinyurl.com/4uswh8uu). For those of us who have forgotten how to value and live this virtue, the latter can be “cultivated“, thankfully. One way of doing so is to allow ourselves to learn from others, as shared by Tsatiris, MD who “learned so many important life lessons from his patients” (https://tinyurl.com/4uswh8uu).

May the great yet humble Saint-Anthony keep protecting Bambi’s dad et al. May he watch over Lebanon, along with the entire Middle East, in its critical moments of history where those blinded by power lost not just humility, but also—most alarmingly—their humanity.
