It was a quiet Sunday as I finished laundry, some cooking and took time to rest. I did have to call to cancel the long-distance plan that has been free for the past two years before the bill began to reflect the full price. When doing this, the agent noted that they could give me another year free instead of canceling. Interesting. I don't make enough distance calls to pay for the usual monthly cost, but if it is free, hey, why not? <smile> It is nice not to need to worry about the potential costs and just pick up the phone and call. Even with the previous plan there would be a small charge for such calls, so free makes sense to me.
I have been looking for the positives in the day -- the things that can fit into the 'win' column. We seem to be overly focused on the other columns these days, often for very good reasons. The third wave of the pandemic is wreaking havoc across the country and around the globe. Vaccinations seem to be working for population groups with larger proportions completed the process. Death rates seem to be lower than in the first and second waves, which federal public health officers have deemed to be related to vaccinations. We still have a way to go before the mythical herd immunity becomes fact, but every day more and more people participate in the vaccination process. This action helps the individual and the broader societies.
My focus on a small win for the day brought to mind a song by a Canadian band. This one focuses on the smaller wins that can coalesce into a larger win. Stay safe. Enjoy!
One Little Victory -- Rush
