A picket fence awash in roses, a rowboat resting in the fog, a game of catch, the majestic nature of a scallop shell. The quiet and seemingly mundane can be grounding when chaos reigns. 

But then, what to do when stable and refreshed? The choices are endless if you follow your heart and let kindness have the first, last and every word. Why not give it a try. It is needed now more than ever.
