I love this old photo of my granddaughter – I love her little foot skipping up in glee and the coy smile on her face. She is looking forward with a rainbow framing her thoughts. I thought it so appropriate for this post for a myriad of reasons. For one, she is the next generation coming up – a generation which will surely have to ‘look forward’ in order to be positioned to tackle the huge issues we will leave on the table for them.
2022 starts another year where we are under the scourge of the virus. In this year, I am interested in bettering the world we live in by preaching, cajoling, urging and advocating for more kindness and caring to be spread to others. It sounds so simple, but we are humans and subject to human emotions getting in the way. I hope to find a way to promote this magic mantra until it seeps into the pores of all I encounter. Just think of the momentum! One extends a hand to a stranger, and next the stranger befriends another, who in turn blesses one less fortunate, and so on and so on! What a magnificent way of life; and the feeling it leaves in one’s heart? Wow!
I recently published my annual thoughts for the New Year. I hope this follow-up post, beautifully illustrated by this charming photo, reaches you and opens your mind to expanding your heart . And, if it does, 2022 should be a very good vintage!
