I’ve already shared this quote from Fred Rogers, but it might be time to visit it again: “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You’ll always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of disaster, I remember my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.”  I have friends who are doctors or nurses, and friends who are EMTs. My hair dresser's husband is a fireman, as are a few of my theater friends. It would take the fingers of both hands to count friends who work in grocery stores, pharmacies and restaurants. One of my dearest friends celebrated her birthday last week by donating blood. They’re all finding ways – big ways and small – to help us get safely through a pretty scary time.
