Good read. We halved our rent to our tenants through April. 2 of 3 work in the service industry. I've reached out to the local hospital system to see if we can/should establish a network of volunteer tailors to fire up their sewing machines and make medical grade surgical masks until industry can catch up. Link here from the hospital system in Washington State who hatched the idea, and has already filled their volunteer needs! --->https://www.providence.org/lp/100m-masks
Matthew Smith what a timely evaluation of profound logic needed by us all.. Complaining is the natural first response to issues that are not in our "spoilt " environment. Time to look into the mirror and appreciate what we currently enjoy but be prepared to adjust as the world is not ours alone --so appreciate what you have been given and be prepared to share.
I really enjoyed this. While I have heard of and try to practice Stoicism, I didn't have a name for "negative visualization" (I also highly recommend the article on Early To Rise linked in the first paragraph of this post).
I'm inspired to think of ways I can be more generous in my community during this time. Although, I haven't left the house since we last needed groceries...
For a lot of us, this is hunker down time. Use this time to mentally prepare and be on the look out for ways you can help. Start close... neighbors & family.

That’s what I’m talking about!

Thank you Chuck. I first published this just a week ago and already so much has changed.
It's going to get ugly. But, I really do think we're going to see some extraordinary acts of kindness and generosity.
