COVID-19 is scary, and ugly, and reshaping how we move and connect in the world right now. But it is also teaching me to be grateful in the midst of this mess.
This Easter morning I am starting in gratitude and prayer for I have so many things to be thankful for. I sat with a hot cup of coffee and God beaming in my spirit lifting before my eyes the small things that have shown up for me during this time. I have 💛 in and around me. I am well in mind, body, and spirit. I live without artificial assistance. I have enough 💵 to make choices. God is real. God has shown up and shown out thousands of times in my life. God is showing us that there are millions of people ( doctors, nurses, cashiers, service workers, law enforcement, clergy, and volunteers) who are hopeful and filled with 💛 that are on the front lines for us today. They are braver than I am and are standing in the gap for so many of us. Each and every time anxiety rolls up on you... Each and every time you get frustrated with not being able to live your daily routine..... Each and every time you get disillusioned... Stop. Breathe. Collect yourself. write down, call out. sign 👌 out what you still have or are able to do or who is doing it for you because you have the privilege... We are blessed beyond measure to have this time to decipher what is real, what is necessary, and what we really have when we open ourselves up to the truth. My prayers go out to the hundreds of millions of us who are afflicted physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually by COVID-19. My prayers are coupled with hope. Hope we recognize Light and Love in the midst of the shadows of fear and despair. Our God continues to show up. And it is our choice to choose to see it. Strangely enough, we have been here before...but it was called 9-11, Trayvon Martin, the Holocaust, Jim Crow, the Potato Famine, AIDS, apartheid.... Will we realize that we are a Resilient People that have faced greater odds than this and we still experienced grace and growth? Love you all!
