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:

  • A neighbor stopped me as I was finishing my walk. She said she hadn’t seen me in a week and she was worried. Blessings on her. A good person. A good neighbor.
  • I don’t like to go to the store to often these days. I make due with with I have. Tonight I made pasta primavera with tofu. It was delicious. Grateful.
  • I wake up each day in a great mood and filled with hope. It’s a gift. It’s grace. Whatever it is, I didn’t earn it. Grateful.
  • We’re another day closer to a solution. Knowing we’re a day closer is enough to make me want to toss a party. One day I will toss one and it will be fun. Don’tgive up. Stay strong, keep practicing social distancing, and watch for soaring eagles. They’re a good sign.

The little things are priceless treasures to me. They brighten my day. I hope your day is filled to overflowing with the little things that make life worth living.

Grateful for all the above.
