Coping with COVID-19: Accepting new beginnings
Until now, we may have equated the idea of beginning again with a view toward our past successes or failures. This isn’t necessarily so in our current circumstances.

In a sense, every day is a new beginning. We can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to assist another or to simply think about something differently.
In this time of change, we would be well-advised to roll with adversity and to make the best of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
