Good morning my DU family,

One of the things I admire from afar no matter how often I see it, is witnessing couples, especially older couples, still holding hands.
That simple gesture speaks a universal language that we all speak with our hearts, the language of love.
Please give us a day filled with opportunities to hold hands today and to be open to feeling joy and sharing a knowing smile whenever we see it in others.
Love, John

Covid nightmare. Back in the 60s we hugged and touched each other much more. It seems to me the people of the world are caring less and less for each other. We don’t know most of our neighbors; they all seem to avoid each other.

Sending you a virtual hug

An important ingredient in the recipe of grievance that's so prevalent today.
Hugs back.
