Change ahead

I see changes ahead.  People are talking about us staying home for a few week and changing the way we do some things.  This is good.  Change isn't always good, but when it results in safety and health improvements, it certainly is.  Let's go with the flow, follow the advice of the professionals, and always keep kindness in everything we do.

Concerned

I am growing more and more concerned about a virus that seems to be striking people of all ages, all around the world.  Please be kind to yourself and to others.  Practice good hygiene.  Follow the informed advice of your providers.  I'm not trying to sound any alarm bells, but this looks like something awful is happening and we have to care for each other.

In the news

In the news we are hearing more and more about a virus that is sending people to hospitals and has already claimed lives.  This is the kind of news that can be difficult to deal with.  Of course we can always make some good news by being kind and caring.  Let us do our best now more than ever, to make days brighter for everyone.  Just maybe our efforts will be in the news!

Loose

He used to sign things "Loose."  His name was actually Lewis, and this was one of the playful things he did.  There were many.  We served together a few times on boards.  We also spent many a Sunday listening to music or movies or just talking.  He was one of the kindest people I have ever known.  When I introduced him and his wife to my mom a number of years ago, they all immediately became friends.  Being with his was such a joy and I learned so much from him.  In many respects, he was my mentor.  Yesterday morning he quietly passed away at home.  I will always be grateful he came my way.  Rest in peace Loose.

Marching forth again

My mother always said March 4th is a command (march forth). I have told you about it here every year since I started this blog too. Of course I think of Mom more often than just this day, but when the calendar turns to this page, I think of Mom's command with a smile. May all the world march forth on March fourth and do kind things for each other!

Health crisis

There seems to be a health crisis spreading all around the world.  I sincerely hope we have learned from the past and that we will follow the advice of health professionals.  It is also very important that we share the kindness.

Let us March

Let us march into March with a whole lot more kindness.  Let is keep on marching all March long!  Never give up on kindness!
