Choose to be optimistic, it feels better.Honestly, got nothing really big to say this week, Friends. And as we usually do at this time of year, you can expect that these intros may scale back a bit as we head into summer over the next few weeks. I'll lean more heavily on the curated stories for your reading pleasure.That said, I would like to thank you for your patience and the generally positive feedback on last week's preamble. I know what has been unfolding can be polarizing at times, but it was hard to not personally weigh in with all that was on my mind. In the end, I lost one subscriber as a result, but whatevs....As my old high school football coach used to say, "you gotta do, watcha gotta do."This week, you'll notice that I happen to have not 1 but 2 articles featuring the Dalai Lama for you. It was not by design, but probably not a bad thing either. Nothing too kooky or heavy on the mindfulness, I promise. Certainly nothing controversial.Finally, a quick shout out to all of the Friends with young family members graduating or moving up from one school to the next -- I know this no where near how you envisioned it would be. We were there this time last year, and I cannot imagine the feelings you are having right now. It is certainly a new and different world right now.That's all folks. Have a great week, enjoy the articles below, check in with someone you have spoken to in a while, and, lastly, WEAR A MASK IF YOU ARE GOING OUT. Seriously, even though we are opening up, we are not out of the woods yet. The world needs as many Friends of Dave as it can have! Stay safe and healthy!XOXODave
