BONUS BLOG: It’s Easter, So Keep On Living

There will be a day when you can do all the things you normally do, and there will a trade off: you won’t able to do what you can do today.

There will be a day when you can do all the things you normally do, and there will a trade off: you won’t able to do what you can do today.

Do what you are able to do, cultivate gratitude, be present, show compassion.
