Personal Notes:
What a crazy time has been for my family as I am sure it has been for your family. We are living in unprecedented times with Covid-19. Which means we all need to not take another day, or minute for granted. In any case, let us try to uplift each other with positivity and kindness.
Needless to say, it is my hope and prayer that perhaps we could see each other as neighbors and friends. We are all interconnected on this planet. While much of the news is depressing there are wonderful stories of people helping people they don’t know. At any rate, I have read stories like this from all over the globe. Consequently, these are the stories of kindness, caring, and compassion that we need to hold on too. For example, communities all over the globe are creating grassroots groups to help others in need or the cheering and singing from balconies in Europe and the USA.
