Celebrate Come On: We Are Still Here!

 

During the pandemic, we have experienced many divine moments.  We responded to our neighbors through delivered meals, cards, emails, calls, texts, visits, prayers, hugs, tears, and laughter.  We survived race riots, insurrection, a challenging election cycle, social distancing, masking, and isolation. We felt emotions of joy, anger, sadness, gladness, regret, guilt, frustration, envy, and delight.  As we reflect on the joyful and less than joyful historic moments, I just want you to remember the alms received by your family. For our diligence we receive love, comfort, covering and favor.

Opening Up Carefully

As we proceed with life in this pandemic reality, here are a few tips when allowing access to your safe space.

Wisdom From The World

Nature surrounds, sustains and supports us.  It shares wisdom with us through plants and animals.  Some have noted that the dragonfly, with its iridescent body and wings, is a symbol of change, transformation, adaptability and self-realization. It is a symbol of happiness, new beginnings and love.  In times like these, we could all use a bit of hope and encouragement.

All We Need Is Love

As we celebrate the month of love, if everyone in your house is healthy, consider sharing hugs with each other this month.

A warm embrace reduces stress, pain, depression, anxiety, dementia, blood pressure, anger. A touch increases confidence, security, mood, sleep, attention span. A caress calms the brain. A squeeze slows the heart beat. Keep spreading love.
