With all that is going on in the world, I have been thinking about what gives me comfort,inspiration and hope. Here are some of the things:
1.Community. Yesterday we marched in the People's March here in Pittsfield,Massachusetts. Being with people walking together outside chanting "What do we want? Democracy. When do we want it? Now." was excellent.
I was so into it that I actually forgot to take pics,wear my sunglasses or even wear makeup. (I am embarrassed to say that I am quite vain)
2.Family:My granddaughter visited us yesterday, and sang "Oh Christmas Tree" to us, and showed me how to open and close her "Baby Shark" water tumbler. She is fantastic.
3.Friends:Talking on the phone to my friends is a necessity.
4.Derry Girls:Makes me laugh out loud. Watching this funny and poignant show for the 3rd time is just what I needed. Cause, laughter.
5.Movies: "Wicked" and "A Complete Unknown" are amazing films. Everything about them. Seriously.
6.Visiting Northhampton and Amherst,Massachusetts was fabulous. New places,people,scenery,shopping,dark chocolate,cappucinos, and college towns.
7.The Gorgeous Friends Community=YOU!!!!!!
8.The Cool Stuff Made by Nice People which gives me inspiration with empowering words and artistic reminders to keep GOING,DREAMING and HOPING.
Thank you Gorgeous Friends,
-Kim
