Staying as Happy and Healthy as Possible

We know it's been a few days since we last posted on here, but a lot has been going on. Not only was it Easter 2 weekends ago, spending time with loved ones on both sides of the family, but we went away this past weekend to Ocean City, MD (as well as Assateague Island, which was really cool with trails on the bay and ocean side in addition to wild horses). As much as this was a joyous and fun time, reality hit us hard the day after returning from our 2 day getaway. Someone near and dear to us tested positive for COVID-19. Let us not forget how powerful this virus is. Seriously, this virus is no joke. From sleepless nights to incessant coughing to fevers to body aches to extreme nausea, it has been a challenging week to say the least. With all this said, we are hopeful that the light is at the end of the tunnel, if you will, and that we are on the other side of this nasty virus. Please keep us in your prayers as we definitely need them moving into the latter part of the week.

We hope you are staying as happy and healthy as possible, and always remember to treat other with love, kindness, and respect. There is a lot of divisiveness surrounding this virus, and God only knows why. At the end of the day, all we have is how we interact with one another. It doesn't just matter what your intention is, although we hope for it to be good. It also matters how we actually act out our intentions. Do we do it in a compassionate, understanding, open way, or do we do it in a negative, berating, Mr. or Mrs. Know-it-all trying to prove everyone wrong kind of way? We choose the former rather than the latter, but have been met with a lot of the latter lately.

Remember, love is the only thing that can conquer hate. It's the best four letter word we have at our disposal as human beings. Use it to encourage, inspire, and motivate everyone you cross path's with in this life.
