COVID-19 Is a Bummer – It Can’t Stop Good Things From Happening

Here are a few of the good things I witnessed or experienced today:

  • The honeysuckle is in full bloom and it’s fragrance is amazing. Grateful.
  • The birds that fly into my bird feeder didn’t get the social distancing memo (LOL). Their antics are a joy to behold.
  • The local supermarket is extending shopping hours from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Yippee. It’s a good sign.
  • A large black monarch butterfly landed on a dandelion near my patio. Beautiful, graceful, and a gift to me. Thanks, Monarch.
  • The times are tough, but we can help each other find a reason to smile, even if it is watching birds, a lizard, or a monarch butterfly. We’re another day closer to winning. Hang in there.

What I share are seemingly small and inconsequential things, but they are priceless to me.

Grateful for all the above.
