It is my hope that we can all stop and be grateful for what we have
For many this is a forced hiatus from work which
can be a blessing
now captive to our lives without work
this should not be entirely bad
At a basic level,
this can mean we get to sleep in late
get our lives organized
tackle all those projects we "never have time for"
On a more personal level,
we can stop and reconnect with family, friends and those we care about
the old fashion way of "talking"
(yes a phone can be used for something other than texting)
we can write a letter with paper and pen
and send it off for someone to receive an unexpected surprise in their mailbox
(imagine getting something other than junk mail or bills????)
We can pause and assess
Our life's meaning
shift gears if the pause calls us in another direction
This hiatus is not entirely bad
and while we might all tire of the mundane routine of less
Perhaps that is exactly what we all need
Fewer distractions
less accumulation of insignificant "stuff"
less to take us away from what we should be valuing and appreciating
the simplicity of family, friends and just existing in a world where people care for one another
on a very basic level
