open mind to those who are suffering
heart too opens with compassion
don’t despair, we will prevail
we’ll be changed for the better
because we’ve learned and grown
through the trials put before us
we’ve drawn closer
boundaries are dissolving
in spite of distancing

/ April 8, 2020It is true, right? Even though distancing is required and this pandemic is horrific, I find myself communicating with old friends I’ve not heard from in quite a while…we tend to “check in” with others more. Not physically….but through social media and I’ve been writing letters again 🙂 Stay safe my friend.

/ April 10, 2020It is true, Lillian. It seems we’re reaching out to to others and checking in. I video visit with my granddaughters and family and it’s so good to see them. I used to love writing letters to people. That’s a wonderful idea! You stay safe too, Lill. xoxo
