These uncertain times are bringing out the best in so many people. You’d think that being stuck at home would generally be a downer, but there continue to be lots of examples of resiliency and good cheer. A friend of mine organized all the shuttered restaurants in Las Vegas to adopt curbside and deliver service – this has been a lifeline for workers and diners. Another friend posted a picture of a long hallway in his home where his kids had completed incredible puzzles – a beautiful combination of art and family. In my daughter’s neighborhood the families have created roadways filled with games and exercises for all the kids – a community of contributors. People everywhere are delivering meals to hospitals and nursing homes to help the incredibly dedicated front line workers there keep on keeping on – caring and sharing. And the number of video calls between friends and families continues to grow and fill the airways – real heartfelt connections. And so many more. In the time we have during this coronavirus isolation, everyone is doing all the good they can for all the people they can, in all the ways they can. This is the true picture of our human spirit. Do all you can today.
