So many good deeds happening - we are showing “the Right Stuff”
1 Free Audible Stories https://stories.audible.com/
2. Free streaming of entire operas by the Metropolitan Opera in New York City metopera.org
and will add more here as they come to me….PLUS these stories ideas submitted to Connecticut’s “Hartford Courant” writer Steve Smith at his request:
1. Amazon paid me a $5 thank you for reporting Sellers who priced Purell skyhigh, saying "Amazon wants to be sure everyone can get the things we will need these days"
2. They said "do not hoard" but then others hoarded and the rest of us feel dumb, having to forage to keep the cupboards properly stocked.
2a. Whole Foods is a part of my lifeline, as I am in due to senior status and recent knee surgery - they are so swamped with people home, ordering out that you may need to come back to place your order ten times before it goes through and even then expect substitutions till the get "up to speed".
Still my things got here on time, on budget and with a smile and pretty much what I ordered. Do tip.
3. Hoping my son in London does not become ill , since the travel ban is on. Ditto my daughter in Los Angeles.
4. I am widowed and sell my art to supplement benefits and love it will not retire. Courant featured me a lot at one time. But the spring shows probably will take place this fall and so I will be selling online and taking advantage of special money to help promote it.
5. Violence in the home due to everyone "Too close for comfort" happens - I used to do response a bit. So these wonderful treats and distractions that our society is offering MUST really be put to work.
6. Thanking God for the PSAs - "It's not about YOU" to those who do not DISTANCE because they do not realize they may be fine but carrying the thing to others who may fall very ill from it.
7. But it's an ill wind that blows no good - the spike in demand for things may have closed off jobs, but it has created tons of jobs too. And when these response jobs fade out with covid needs, they can go back to what they were doing and in the meantime, still earn.
As for me I am "IN" - hoping to remote counsel with redcross while catching up on spring cleaning, apartment decor touchups, financing the new artwork promotion, and updating my documentation , just in case.
Thank God for all the neat things people are doing to be cheery and charming in this difficult time. Saint Philomena the healer is in the famous Red Cross Tiffany Windows at NHQ in Washington, DC - As redcross 1967 til now, I hope to counsel remotely again, and praying for sure!
