The only things that matter ultimately are
good health and the closeness of loved ones! The wisdom of ages, and now we
know it!
We humans are a
resilient bunch and throughout history have survived war, famine, epidemics,
trauma and tragedy of all sorts. If there are takeaway lessons from this challenge
they are that disease knows no international boundaries, love is stronger than
fear, a “we and not just me” attitude serves everyone, and we need each other
to survive.
Let
this be a first step to the end of discrimination and a better world full of
kindness.
Finally
now the Earth heals herself as pollution lessens; birds tweet to their heart’s
content in a newly clear blue sky, and leopards, deer and even elephants
reclaim their land as we stay locked away.
"None of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful.

There are good lessons coming out of this pandemic for sure.
Let's hope so Christine.
We humans need a kick up the backside to realign and think outside the cages of the mental box we sometimes put ourselves in.
Thanks for stopping by my friend.

Glad you are well and in good spirits!
I hope this pandemic will enable everyone to appreciate the simple things in life all the more. But the cynic in me says that, a couple of years from now, the world will be back to its sometimes destructive ways.
Stay safe, my friend - the world needs you!
Hi Debra
Yes I am fortunately very well and amazingly in good spirits as we navigate living in these strange times.
Big hugs to you my friend

Hello Mike
I'm an optimist as you know and hoping at least small changes will be made when we eventually recover from this deadly virus sweeping the world.
I'm betting people will appreciate seeing their friends and family in real life rather than via video.
Here's hoping anyway.
Big heart hugs always.

Hi Pushkar
Welcome to the Blogosphere!
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, I will do the same on your blog.
All the best
Peggy
From your mouth to God's ears, Peggy. I do think many, hopefully most of us, are heeding the lesson of this pandemic of our interconnectivity and interdependency and our need to step away from the frenetic pace. I hope that good/positive will triumph over the bad/negative. Yours in the world community.
thanks for the positive post. I also wish that the good from this will make the world better. There's many examples people reaching out and helping others all around. It's still difficult to see these beneficial actions if you don't look for the positive. I find it hard to stay positive but I know it's the best way to be. It would be easier if our country was not so divided.
An uplifting post Love your believe in the world and humanity. In times of crisis we need each other more and like you make this world a better place, so the world becomes more beautiful and hopefully it will ripple out and changes the world one step and one person at the time. Hope all is well in your world Your friend Ahoranui
