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:

  • Good things often happen to me when I least expect them. I went for my daily walk. I met a worker (repairing the street). We started talking. One thing led to another and we were talking politics. Our ideas were different, we listened to each other. We didn’t argue. I came away with an understanding and respect for why he felt the way he did. I hope he left feeling the same way about me and my views. Grateful for a respectful and honest discussion.
  • Three things I’ll do for sure today: Listen to music that makes me feel good. Watch a movie with a good ending. And, find time to relax and be grateful for the life I live.
  • We’re another day closer to a solution. Don’tgive up. Stay strong, keep practicing social distancing, and take time to enjoy all the signs and sights of spring.

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.
