Yahoo!  I finished self isolating yesterday.  Oops, wait a minute.  I still shouldn't really go anywhere.  No worries.  It's virtual coffee with friends and family for the next months, I guess.  "I guess". Those two words apply to all of us these days.  No one really knows what is going to happen.  Experts, health officials, politicians, economists, conspiracy theorists, naysayers, optimists..they are all guessing.  I remind myself of this fact every time I read the news.  My opinion is: we live each day by faith.  We don't know what tomorrow will bring.  We hope for the best and prepare for the worst. One thing we can control is the here and now.  In every decision, we make the decision to choose love over fear and hate.  We either make the world a brighter, more hopeful place or we make the world a darker, hopeless place.  No one is positive all the time and no one is happy all the time.  That's just not possible, but we can believe that, no matter how tough our situation appears to be, we are more resilient when we remind ourselves that nothing lasts forever, and things will get better.
