You have choices...



It takes something like this pandemic to remind us that we’re all in the same boat: I could go on about this forever but seeing that today’s author is from an Animal Rescue makes me think in another direction. I travel a lot and am always amazed by the number of people who bring comfort pets on a plane: I always thought that was curious. But last month my daughter, who is the owner of three rescue dogs, took us to an adoption event and we fell in love with a 3-legged little dog that was injured and then restored to health by a volunteer rescue group. We fostered here for two weeks and finally adopted her last week. Right about now I am so thankful and comforted by this new member of our family: she’s been a gift in these difficult times. As we all shelter in place, it’s important to find comfort wherever you can… be it with family, colleagues, and friends online, work or school-from-home assignments, spring projects around the house, or a favorite pet. Let’s remember, we have to do MORE with what we have right now, not less. Find ways to keep your boat in relatively calm waters today.
