Be willing to spread joy

In all situations we have to be willing to spread joy. I recall a time prior to COVID I witnessed a couple of young men on the train.  As a lady entered the train,  joking, one young man says to lady, “Can you give my friend a hug he just got fired  today."  The young lady stopped and smiled and said "I got fired today too.” What transpired next was the most spontaneous and heart warming. What was meant as a joke turned into a genuine act act of kindness. Both young men got up and said “you need a hug.”  Many of us are dealing with overwhelming thoughts. We need a hug but COVID has altered our life’s normalcies. Whatever you are facing right now here is a virtual hug 🤗. No matter how severe the pain, find a little joy from a smile and a hug, even if you have to hug yourself.
