Well then. I am truly blessed as my company sent me a check in a matter of a few days which SO helped relieve my stress level this week. And, I had the opportunity, since I am home, to help my little community via our local food bank yesterday, mindful of the 6 foot rule, gloves and mask while I was assisting bagging up groceries. The normal amount given weekley is about 50 - 55. Yesterday it was 88...and the influx can only be due to folks not being able to work, seniors who cannot and should not go out. It gave me more than I gave them. I am going to try, after this nonsense is over, to do this on a weekly basis. To see so many on our little island struggling and to see the generosity of our grocery stores, the members of our little local church caring so much lifted my spirits. I cannot thank all here enough for the wise advice, care and compassion. I truly do not think I would have gotten through such a rough spot without all of you. May the Universe shine on all of you here. I feel better than I have in months.

@santolina Believe it or not, I am feeling chills and goose-bumps as I write this to you. I was just going to pull up your last post, to see how you are doing! Isn't is always amazing and uplifting to get these unexpected surprises like this? I sincerely hope that your company recognizes how lucky they are to have you, and that this situation will be relieved soon. Being able to be of some sort of service to others can uplift our own spirits. You said it best, how seeing everyone pulling together shows there are those who truly do care. Pat yourself on the back, and realize you are a part of that sense of community!

Thank you for sharing such great and uplifting news. You have been my prayers and your message is a true blessing and answer.
Continue to wish you well. Your uplifted spirit surely raised mine.

@santolina - Great to hear how you plugged yourself into your local community! It always helps me when I step out and help others.
Thank you for your encouraging story! We get so much out of helping others and I thought it was very cool to hear you say that you will try to continue on supporting this effort with your time even after you return to work! This is a Win/Win for all involved!
