Hello friends, I hope and pray that this message reaches you in good health. If you are able to stay home at this unprecedented time in our life I hope you do say. If you are forced to work then I pray that you return to your home safely and in good health.
I write this blog today not to scare anyone, I am not going to talk about statistics, about clusters or potential numbers. I will talk however about the human spirit and what it is capable of, what is has always been capable of in dark times.
Now is the time to let your spirit shine. To extend that helping hand to those who may be in need. We will get through this, will we be the same afterwards? No… Maybe that is the point. Because now is a time that you can truly make a difference. It does not have to be on a grand scale, you do not have to donate any money. But there are so many other things that you can do.
If you’re heading to the store you can ask your neighbor if they need anything. If your company allows you to share sick/vacation days you can offer it to the single parent who has to choose between leaving their kid home alone or not getting paid. If you’re at the grocery store and have a few extra bucks pick up an item or two for the local food bank. If you enjoy wrenching on bikes, exercising, reading, painting, etc.. make a video to share your passion with others.
Right now we are smart to keep a physical distance from each other. And it is difficult. But that does not mean we have to keep an emotional or spiritual distance from each other. Because when this is over, and it will be over, we are going to need each other.
Be safe
