Day 7 - 138 -- Looking Up

The day began with sunshine but by midday it turned cloudy with intermittent rain. I finished the laundry, got caught up with social media and placed some online orders. While on social media, a quotation that is likely an older proverb, though it was made famous by John Lennon a few decades back. This fits with the idea noted by a good friend who tells me 'the best is yet to come.'  The quotation states, "Everything will be OK in the end. If it's not OK, it's not the end."

These two statements can help me get through some of the uncertainty of our current global predicament. It might be easy to panic, particularly if we spend an inordinate amount time with broadcast and social media prognosticators. Trying to focus on the good that will come as we move forward through the pandemic takes effort some days. Many aspects of life are going along almost as usual with a few tweaks. Other aspects have changed a lot, but we can, have, and are adapting. It can be extremely frustrating. This is generally the long weekend that marks the beginning of summer activities in Canada. It is different than before, but spring is moving forward with trees budding and blossoms popping up around us. I have to take heart in the constancy of seasonal changes in nature as a positive sign. Things will move forward and smiles will continue.

A song that ran through my head today while outside deals with the seasons changing. It feels happy and positive.I have used it in the blog before, but it one I go back to often. Stay safe. Enjoy!
