Times like these can bring out the best in humans. There have been so many heartwarming stories I have heard and being circulated on the internet, softening or hearts and offering hope for humankind.   

As Fred Rogers shared, "look for the helpers" and I also believe we should look for the humor, kindness, and gifts. 

The suffering is real, but so is the hope and goodness available and present.  Perhaps this short chapter in all of our lives will inspire more kindness, compassion, patience, and generosity. I think this may be what spirit, source, GOD would ultimately want and hope for all of us living on this earth in this moment of time. 

This week, ask yourself what gift has this adversity brought me so far? Maybe the ultimate practice of patience and tolerance?  Perhaps finding comfort in boredom?  Maybe, it has helped you to explore your relationship with money and your spending habits? Or maybe, you have been forced to reconnect with nature or your partner and family members?
