#WednesdayWisdom – RBG

“You can disagree without being disagreeable.”

― Ruth Bader Ginsburg (March 15, 1933 – September 18, 2020)

She was the iconic embodiment of what it means to be a strong independent woman. We all walk the roads she helped pave. RIP.

#WednesdayWisdom – Madman or Economist?

“We have a finite environment—the planet. Anyone who thinks that you can have infinite growth in a finite environment is either a madman or an economist.”

― Sir David Attenborough (paraphrasing Kenneth Boulding, President Kennedy’s environmental advisor)

The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) has many resources for those of us experiencing pandemic stress, stress adjusting to working from home or job loss, social issues like bullying or discrimination, ongoing medical issues like chronic pain or mental illness, stress felt by caregivers, and the list goes on.

Most of us yearn for our lives to be normal and mourn the loss of our routines, our jobs, our colleagues, our friends, and our families in a multitude of ways.

The pandemic has made life…interesting…to say the least. Disruption is the norm. “Unprecedented times” have been getting old for a long while now. Some things will never be the same.

It might take a while to shake out, but some changes will inevitably be positive. Humans are incredibly adaptable and creative. It’s important for each of us to go through our own grief process…and allow for those around us to do so as well.

Be kind to others. Be kind to yourself. Hang in there, stay safe and take care.
