Storm

The more violent the storm, the quicker it passes.

I recently got a very unkind email from a stranger about a thing. It doesn't matter what thing. I was really upset about it. I don't understand being unkind in olden times, and I really don't understand it in pandemic times. 

Leslie told me the message said more about the sender than it did about me.

Then I remembered something my mom used to say. When people would be lousy she would say things like, "Maybe they have a hard life. Pray for them."

So I will. I will pray for them to get struck by lightning.
