I feel like I have observed so much about myself and my fellow life travelers over this last month. I've observed touching compassion and outreach to strangers from those I thought were too busy or caught up in everyday stress and work to care about anyone but themselves or their families. I have observed those I thought were caring and compassionate individuals shut themselves in their personal fortresses and glue themselves to nonstop news and internet feeds becoming hateful, entitled and judgemental. I've observed workaholics completely transform themselves into teachers and private chefs creating lasting positive family memories and experiences for their children. I've observed people find themselves. Their essence and drive again to reevaluate their lives and savor this time to create a new path for themselves. I post this picture of a gift I recieved unexpectedly from a friend just as our "normals" were changing. I haven't known this gal for very long. But, she was one of those souls that I instantly connected with the second I sat down at the table in the diner where we met. When she gave me this gift, I was struck by how appropriate and thoughtful and how "Me" this was. I was deeply touched. I held the package and turned it over and over admiring every side for a long time. I didn't even need to open it to know, that I was in love with it. So, my point with this post is, I have friends that have known me most of my life, but don't know me or care to really understand me. And then I have friends who I connect with on a soul level, and they are my family. And I celebrate, love and support all of them. We can all take more positive from this experience and also really try to understand and appreciate our friends for the unique souls that they are.
