As we slug our way through the beginning of yet another year of navigating subsequent versions of the pandemic, I say, “March On!”
Whether you are staying at home and having everything delivered, or you’re bravely going out to complete your chores in person, do what’s most appropriate for you!
There is no ignoring that Covid continues to be newsworthy. However, so much negativity in the media is doing nothing for our mental health! What we need is more positive news – to balance out the gloom. Inspire us with messages of positivity! Tell us about the good around us! Give us more success stories, heartwarming and uplifting moments happening everywhere around us!
For example, I caught these positive moments recently. It would be nice for them to share the same center stage with the other news:
1. A teen who is only 19 years old became the youngest person to fly solo around the world!
2. Last month, the “Betty White Challenge” raised over $13 Million for animal shelters!
3. After a terrible snowstorm, several neighbors who were snowed in were surprised to see someone had taken their trashcans, through the deep snow, to the curb for pickup.
4. The mystery man turned out to be their 75-year-old neighbor!
5. A Coach had to cancel the wrestling team’s workout due to the school being closed from a snowstorm in Western Pennsylvania. Instead, he emailed all the players instructing them to get their workout by shoveling snow for an elderly or disabled neighbor and accepting no payments. Results? The entire team did exactly that! Some of the teens emailed photos of their work to the coach while expressing how many neighbors they had already helped!
If you can’t hear about it in the news… you can create your own happiness! You control what you can and cannot do! Only you have the power to create the life you want! March On!
