この手紙を書いていると、私のお気に入りの引用の1つを思い出します。
ルース・スメルツァー、「お金を稼いだとしても、返済できない誰かのために何かをしなければ、完璧な一日を過ごしたことはありません。」

私たちをサポートするためにあなたがしたすべてのことに対して私たちはあなたに返済することは決してできませんが、私たちの心からの感謝と感謝を受け入れてくれることを願っています。私たちが奉仕する人々へのあなたの継続的なコミットメントは、私たちがあなたのサポートを得ることがどれほど幸運であるかを私たちに思い出させます。あなたの寛大さと思いやりは、これらの困難な時代を通して私たちを動機づけ、刺激してくれました。そのために、私たちは最も感謝しています。 
 
心から、
リンダL.カーニー

Habits that support our mental health. We may want to consider incorporating the steps below into our self-care routine. 

Always Be Humble and Kind - Smile at someone, be friendly to someone we don't know. Be generous with our time, energy, gifts, talents, and resources. Be patient, easygoing, warm-hearted, and thoughtful. Kind hearts are quietly kind. They let a car cut before them without losing their temper, let the three-year-old mom move in front of them in the checkout line, or take time to listen to others instead of complaining. We can show mercy and grace to those we feel may have slighted or wronged us and, in doing so, understand that mercy is the most profound gesture of kindness. 

Bring Nature Inside – while nature provides many benefits to our mental health, so does bringing plant life inside. According to the World Economic Forum, taking care of a plant can give us a sense of fulfillment while improving air quality and reducing airborne pollutants in our internal environments. Improved air quality can also boost cognitive performance. 

Clean Our Space - regardless of where our space is located, we can make it as clean and organized as possible. Spring cleaning is an age-old expression of getting a fresh start after the long winter months, but it also boosts our mental health. According to Very Well Health, just the spring cleaning ritual can give us a sense of accomplishment and control over our environment. 

Focus on our Sleep - the benefits of a good night's Sleep can supercharge our brains and bodies. One of the ways we can look within is to see how we're treating ourselves. Optum Health notes that limiting alcohol and caffeine before bed, lighting our meals, reducing exposure to screens, and keeping our space dark and cool are ways to have a better sleeping experience. Let's all commit to taking extra care of our mental health!

Sincerely,

Linda L. Carney
