When driving recently I saw a billboard that caught my attention. Please see below:
H – Help
O – Other
P – People
E – Everyday
I wish I could impart who or what the organization was sharing this poignant message but I am so grateful to have by happenstance driven by! What an important reminder, as we slowly work our way through to the other side of this horrific pandemic.
The word hope has always been one of my favorites. For me it is the best combination of faith and persistence. With the situation at hand, it is easy to get caught up in our own daily challenges but now more than ever thinking of others is so very important. It can be only a small gesture or something of much greater importance. By putting all other matters aside – the benefits of how you feel after you have gone past your own needs and reached out to someone else is the best medicine ever. To me it is what makes us not only human but compassionate humans.
I hope this message will be a good reminder to you too. Happy Spring Break to all the schools and I am hoping for a much more “normal” and productive spring semester for students, teachers and families.
Best,
Laine
