“Keep your face always toward the sunshine––and the shadows will fall behind you.” Walt Whitman
Kate’s Turn:
In my annual New Year’s practice of finding a word as my focus for 2021, I struggled to land on one that gave me promise for moving forward. Providence? Yes, I have received much, and am grateful for it. True, but that word seemed to focus on the past. Positivity? Yes, we certainly need a lot of that, but that word seemed too confining to my own experience. Kindness? Ah, now this word gave me some energy. An act of kindness always lightens a situation. Kindness goes a long way and is often paid forward when received. My intention to offer kindness is actually a way to create my own sunshine, and be a star when things are dark. In these challenging times, it is sometimes difficult to see the light. However, it is the light that gives us hope and helps us to weather through the dark times.
“Love will find its way through all languages on its own.” Rumi
