I’m social distancing. I wear a mask when I go to grocery. Soon, I’ll be tying my hair in ponytail. I see brothers and sisters from every race, nation, and place on earth suffering and it tears at my heart. Yah, COVID-19 is a bummer. I refuse to let it turn me into a prune (no offense intended prunes). Starting today, I’m going to list a few good things I witnessed happening or happened to me during the day. I think good things are happening to you. If you’d like to share the good things you’ve witnessed on my blog, Email me (ray.brese@gmail.com) a short list (1 to 5 things.  I’ll post and attribute them to you in the way you choose to be acknowledged (e.g., anonymous, name, Word Press blog (etc.).

Good Things Are Happening

  1. I saw a dad running with his son.
  2. The red roses on my rosebush near a statue of the Virgin Mary are in full bloom.
  3. I saw my neighbor this morning (I kept a social distance) and she told me she is recovered from COVID-19.
  4. I got toilet paper at the supermarket today – Yippee!
  5. When I went for my walk, I wished every one I saw good health and my greetings were returned.

I had a great day. I hope you have as well.
