If I throw a rock into a pond, the water has to react. It can’t NOT react. COVID threw a rock into us. It was a BIG rock. We responded. We couldn’t NOT react. And we reacted appropriately to the force and mass. Now, like water, we can return to calm. Out of that, productivity flows.
Protecting our privacy is good, they say. Still the need for it makes me sad. Nameless, if you will.
Owning a cat reduces your risk of heart attack or stroke, but don’t try to outrun them.
When we run a race, do we start at the finish line? I LOVE the movie, Groundhog Day. In fact it might be my favourite of all time, but the day? What a ridiculous idea. We can’t skip over winter to get to spring. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SIX MORE WEEKS OF WINTER NO MATTER WHAT! This is Canada, for goodness sake. Nature has to run the race. We can’t start at finish line. That’s the theme of the movie. Settle in. Take steps over and over. You’ll get there.
I’m more comforted to feel that the Great Power is not separate and apart from me, and that it lies within us all. I find that to be a more tenable position in hard times, because then there’s no questioning or pointing fingers at a force outside of ourselves.
Congratulations on 500 postings. Those are 500 thought-provoking rockets that have challenged us to be our best selves. You have exceeded the dimensions of your little sidewalk square.
Wow, exceeded? What a compliment. But I’ll keep on plugging anyway.
Congratulations on your 500th post. Your little footsteps have made giant imprints of inspiration. Looking forward to reading the next 500.
I wasn’t fishing for compliments, but I’ll take ’em. Thank you for your support.
