When in doubt; contribute

Growing up, whenever I was at a loss of any kind, my mom would encourage me to contribute in some positive way.

Sometimes I found that message a bit frustrating, but I know it is a powerful message.

It's easy to get stuck with ourselves when there are challenging events, however, once we reach out to help someone else in any way, you quickly find that your attitude and outlook change.

So take some time to think of these COVID-19 days as days of contribution--contribution to those you love and those in need of the kind of help you are able to give. That's a positive way to meet this challenging time with grace and peace. Onward.
