Last week, I suggested one of the most important things for feeling better during this global pandemic, is to think better. A positive mindset is invaluable – especially during times of crisis. It doesn’t take away the concern or gravity of the situation, but just allows for better mental and emotional health, decision making, and resiliency. There are so many amazing stories right now about the good happening around our country. I wanted to share a few. Feel free to add your own as well.
This was shared by a friend of a friend of a friend:
The reports are that the truckers are getting supplies to the stores. People are stocking the shelves all night and letting old people shop first.
Carnival Cruise line told Trump “We can match those big Navy Hospital ships with some fully staffed cruise ships” GM said hold our cars and watch this; we can make those ventilators where we were making cars starting next week.
Women and children are making homemade masks and handing out snacks to truckers. Restaurants and schools said, We’ve got kitchens and staff; we can feed kids.”
Churches are holding on-line services and taking care of their members and community. NBA basketball players said, “Hold our basketballs while we write checks to pay the arena staff.” Construction companies said, “Here are some masks for the medical staff and doctors”.
Breweries are making sanitizer out of the left-over ingredients. We thought we couldn’t live without Baseball, NASCAR, NBA or going to the beach, restaurants or a bar. Instead, we’re trying to keep those businesses open by ordering take-out. And many are making a difference by just being still, a virtue thought to be lost.
I think a Japanese Admiral in the middle of the Pacific said it best in 1941, “I think we have awakened a sleeping giant.”
Give us a few more weeks (maybe months) and we will be doing much better! And stop listening to the hysterical media!! Stop politicizing everything and share the positive stories of humanity.
We have a wonderful country and an amazing God.
I know we will be ok.
