CODI 比以往任何時候都更強大，這要歸功於我們不斷擴大的社區，他們貢獻了時間、資源、食物、物資、金錢、人才和汗水來支持我們的使命。我們知道我們真的很幸運，感謝您似乎是我們對您的感激之情。

當我寫這封信時，我想起了我最喜歡的一句話

雖然我們永遠無法回報您為我們所做的一切，但我希望您能接受我們的衷心感謝和讚賞。您對我們所服務的人的持續承諾提醒我們，能得到您的支持是多麼幸運。您的慷慨和同情在這些困難時期激勵和激勵了我們，為此，我們深表感謝。

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
