Above The Clouds

Leave a comment

Being above the clouds can help take your mind off all the troubles down below. Clouds can be fluffy and pretty but some have as much trouble in them as what your life is on the ground. Having your head in the cloud is a nice, temporary retreat from the woes of life but you can’t stay there. Sometimes we wish we could store all our problems in the cloud. Whatever has you wishing for the clouds is only temporary. It too shall pass like clouds.

In some ways, climbing in the clouds is comforting. You can no longer see how high off the ground you are.

Friends, it’s the first Tuesday in April and I hope all is well. I have read where some are getting a little antsy about what’s going on. We all need to chill because no one knows how long this will go. It’s important to care for ourselves and one another (of course from a distance). We can do this if we cooperate as a global and local community. Mutual support is so important these days. Everything I have just said applies to me too. My friends, be strong, be courageous, be kind.

The Thing About

The Thing About: Patience

4 Comments

In this time of uncertainty, patience is a divine virtue. Have patience with yourself, with one another, with the circumstances we are in. Everyone is going through something and we all wish things were back to “normal”. It is my thought that we aren’t going back to “normal” but something else that will require us to have patience and a whole lot of grace for one another.

Who knows what things will look like on the other side. It will require patience and hopefully freedom from anxiety.

My friends, now is the time to be still, take care of self, have a little faith in something that will get you through. Remember to love one another and yourselves in this very difficult time.

Be grateful that you have slowed down, and that life has more meaning these days. Even in these tough times, you have an opportunity to regain a part of you that was lost. May this new normal be long-lasting.

Social Distancing Saturday

6 Comments

The title of this blog is pretty much what you think its about. Most everyone is keeping a healthy distance so we can flatten the curve. Doing our part is a must these days. With over 105,000 cases of the virus reported its something everyone should take seriously.

My heart goes out to the sick and suffering. Grace and peace to those who are lost and to those who survive.

That doesn’t mean we cannot connect with one another through other means. I cannot imagine what this would be like without the Internet. Many of us would go crazy mad. Now is a good time to catch up on things you enjoy doing but haven’t had time for.

Spending more time at home has been a change of pace for many but in the end it will be good to not be so scheduled and busy. Technology is helping many pass the time. Hopefully this means we can take care of self a little more. Dare we say boredom is a good thing?

My friends hang in there. Have faith. Be strong. Don’t let social distancing mean you are socially distant.
