Wonderful and timely as always! I’ve been nearing that edge of hopelessness re the uncertain future. But need to remind myself re the timelessness of those (not) small things that cannot be snuffed out so easily (unless we allow). Mahalo plenty!

It’s the small, good things and keeping focused on never giving up. Music is a gift. Books, writers, and creatives are a saving grace. Thanks, Tommy.

I’m reading this almost a month into this madness. Beautifully stated. It’s essential to hold on to things of beauty that make your soul soar, as well as family and friends who lift our spirits in times such as these. Going to find Shawshank Redemption and rewatch. It’s been a while - such a powerful movie as you eloquently shared. In gratitude

Thanks Tommy. I may think about this a lot today and revisit it when I need the reminder.
