Spring is here, the yard is mowed, the sun is out. And I'm at a loss to put a happy spin on anything this morning.
We are concerned of course about our beautiful daughter Amanda, and the health of her family. As you know, she's a nurse at a clinic in the small town where they live in central Washington. She called last night and described how poorly equipped they were to screen and test the cases coming in. Their basic supplies are so low, kind community members have dropped off extra masks.
It was agonizing listening to this, and unfortunately a similar situation in hospitals and clinics all over the country. Even in big, rich cities like Seattle. What had once seemed inconceivable is reality.
Remind yourself today not to fret about selfish things. Instead, send your good energy and prayers of gratitude to the people working so hard for us in the medical profession. Brave first responders in the truest sense, each day they move toward the disaster, instead of running away.
Thank you, Amanda, and so many others.
