As a rule, we see what we want or expect to see. Some see the glass half full, while others see it half empty. It’s the same glass. Only the perception has changed. So why not choose to see the similarities that we all share rather than the differences? Again, it’s the same people, only the perception has changed.
Almost everything about daily life has changed for everyone. Let this new life be a new beginning. Make it a commonality to unify us all as we move forward and learn how to overcome the new obstacles that humanity, as a whole, is facing.
I read this question in a recent magazine and the couple dozen answers printed from people around the country.

But remember, each and every day, we are given opportunities to do some good in this world. You might pick up food for an elderly neighbor while grocery shopping. Or it might just be a phone call to check on someone who is alone right now. But each tiny act of kindness, each…
