The world is a changing revolving door.  So much is negative both with people disgusted with the outcome of the election, price hikes, job layoffs, bad climate happenings. Its evident that there is a lot of negative events in our world and it can become a bad habit of complaints.

I ask for those who would like to listen ... please try to focus on the good around us.  For instance going to lunch with an older person to bring a bit of joy to them.  Calling an individual just to really listen to them and if they ask to help them along the way.  Invite friends for dinner and treat them to a special meal they might like. Put on good music each day instead of the TV as its a pure delight to sing along while your gardening, cooking, or if your working remotely. Take long walks by yourself or with a friend, notice the gorgeous vistas, the colors, the birds, the wild flowers.  Above all count your blessings.  

I know some of us are ailing I send you support during your arduous journey. For those who are lonely I send friends to give you friendship.

For those who just can't find the light in situations I wish you a calm mind.

I leave you with this quote from Kahlil Gibran, "You give but little when you give your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give."
