Thank you! I don't believe we've been exactly here before, but I do believe that we're strong enough to sustain the barrage as long as we stick together!
I have made it through the last few months on the strength of sunrises over the water. I don’t know what will replace that in two months time, when I have to move on, but I will keep your ideas close by. That quiet morning start has been a comfort and I want to keep doing it.
Small actions count. Sometimes what attracts attention is something large, spectacular, noticeable. What we can do, no matter how disheartened we are, no matter how tired or broke or impatient, might be as small as smiling at someone waiting in a check-out line. Might involve writing a short note to someone we haven't been in touch with for awhile. We might double a recipe and take a loaf of homemade bread to someone who isn't able to get out easily any more. Might get up early and take some spectacular photos of sunrise, the way Annette did. Little things. Thanks for the gentle reminder, Annette, and thanks for these wonderful photos of Brother Sun. Blessings, patience, resilience, caring. All will be well. We can do it.
Stunning photos! I also appreciate your insightful reminders about the nature of resistance. We've been here before and together we can do it again!

Those are some fantastic sunrise shots, Annette!
Thank you, Troy. They were hard sought! LOL!

And you have taken some great photos of them! You’ll always find a way to see them. They’re in your soul.

That is so true, Helen. Kindness is key. It’s impossible to know how bad things will get, but, no matter, we can always be kind.
Your words gsve validity to existence as resistance
Only occasionally are we called to courage - the open expression of resistance. People often confuse them.
Your sunrise photos are beautiful and renew my spirit.
Yes! Living the best life we can is an act of resistance in an environment like this one. Glad you enjoyed the photos!
