When I stop cajoling, negotiating, petitioning, and outright begging, that’s when I have surrendered.

The Dark Night of the Soul
Sometimes the darkness is brought on due to our actions, as evidenced in addiction. But other times, it feels random and unfair, like a cancer diagnosis for the mom who makes good choices and has two beautiful children and a loving husband.
Fear is NOT a Virtue
It’s just like the Force in Star Wars. Do you want to be a Jedi or a Sith? Do you want to broker in love, hope, faith, justice, courage, prudence, and temperance? Or do you want fear, jealousy, arrogance, anger, lack of control, chaos, and confusion?
Gratitude Shift
. You want to be free of the COVID blues? Choose gratitude. Choose to shift your magical magnifying mind onto the blessings that surround you. Watch the blessings bloom.
I Don’t Wanna
Humans are resilient creatures. We adapt – on the outside. What’s happening to us on the inside?
Do Your Words Matter?
Humans are complicated, they are layered, like Ogres. Maybe people are ogres. We hungrily devour those who’s words and behaviors are incongruent with our value systems.
Hang in There
Sometimes my faith is enormous like I’m ensconced in a fluffy white cloud, floating above all the misery. Sometimes my faith is small, like me.
COVID Progression
When all of this started back in the second week of March, I was terrified, mystified.
Weeks went by. We experienced grief.
Here’s where we are today:
Corona Fatigue
Acceptance isn’t the same as absolution. We don’t have to condone the stuff, we have to accept the stuff.
Community
When we take this approach of being a community of people experiencing this together, we can shift from fear to responsibility.
