Computer Inspired Compassion

November 2020 – When your computer is tired and behaving badly, turn it off and count to 10.

Always the first question from the IT help desk: “Did you try powering down?” Can we extend that to ourselves? Maybe even with the kind words:  “You’ve been working hard, take a little break.”

In this time of COVID, take care of yourselves. Place your hand on your heart and feel a few deep breaths. Notice the color of nature outside your window.

With love and respect,

Anita and Leslie
