Social isolation can force us to want to be busy rather than reflect and address our mental state of mind, dealing with the pandemic and all the controlled chaos that comes with it.
I did take a look at my state of mind and decided that it is time to sometimes do nothing but be thankful for others who have taken a stand to keep us informed.
Research shows there are many benefits to being thankful, including feeling happier and lowering stress.
Here is my first list of people I am thankful for today: Cheryl Smith, I Messenger Publisher and veteran journalist who has assembled a host of talent to make sure the community-at-large receives news and information that is immediately essential – Shout out to our entire I Messenger Media L.L.C. News Team as well.
Dietary Manager, Rhonda Fuller Edwards and her team at Lindsay Park, a senior citizen home.
