We can adapt

Not everything stays the same, and as difficult as these past two months have been, I predict that we have many more months to go.  We can adapt though.  We can alter the ways that we do things and adjust to what is necessary to stay safe and healthy.  Human beings are incredible.  With love, respect, and kindness we can get through anything.

Mothers Day

Oliver Wendell Holmes said “Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall; A mother’s secret hope outlives them all.”  Thinking of all the mothers in our lives on the Mothers Day.

Tough times

A record 20.5 million jobs were lost in April here in the United States, as the unemployment rate jumped to 14.7 percent, which is the highest it has been since the Great Depression.  Oh my!  We really are in the midst of tough times.  Let's all make extra effort to be nice and good to each other.  Brighter days will come, but it will be so much easier to get there if we all exercise kindness.

Even now

As I reflected about the importance of being kind last night, I was thinking about the COVID-19 pandemic and how even now will so much going on, we still need to be kind.  Perhaps I should say especially now.  I have seen a lot of negativity on social media and I understand the frustration, but how much nicer things are when we are civil and patient.  Yes, it is difficult, but we can get through this!  Let's work together and always stay kind.

Kindness always matters

Even though many of us have been at least six feet apart, many of us have never been closer.  Kindness always matters, even in the midst of a pandemic and social distancing.

Working from home

I'm working from home these days and not coming in to direct physical contact with anyone, but that doesn't mean goodbye to kindness.  We can still be kind via social media, phone, email, and even waving from our windows!  Kindness should never end!

Kindness while homebound

Most of us love to be out and about and it's been tough staying home, even though we know it's for our own good.  While we are home though it is so important to remember that kindness I am always talking about.  Be kind to everyone in your household.  Remember they probably want to be out too!  Oh and be kind to yourself!  This is especially important if you live alone.  Kindness never should take a day off.
