The incredible front line health care workers battling COVID-19 in hospitals everywhere are amazing points of light showing intensely passionate and caring compassion in their endless and exhausting work of helping patidnts all over the world.
But their beacons of light are cresting an amazing awareness of the work they do and the incredible gratitude from those they help.
This note of gratitude and thanks just touched my heart:
Cleveland Clinic coronavirus patient left a touching message after ICU discharge - CNN:
"This window has been the most impactful window in my life. On days when I watched you work hard to keep me and others alive, unable to thank you for the time that you poured into me - and although I will probably never get the chance to pour that same love and support into you, I want you to know think you all are rockstars.
I watched some of you have good nights and some bad nights but what was consistent every night was that you care for people.
Today I leave this ICU a changed person, hopefully for the better, not only because of your medical healing and God's direction and guidance, but with the fact of knowing that there are such wonderful people dedicated to the care and concern of others.
God bless each of you."
To our caregivers, you uplift and inspire us all.

@michele-b Thank you for finding and posting that. I opened my heart in a way I needed. I have a friend about to go to the front lines to the ICU patients. I want to protect her. She is so beautiful and caring and I pray she and so many like her will be safe.
On that same note @Michele-b, I saw a post on FB today which touch me deeply. It was of a plane filled with people and each person was making a heart shape with their hands. They were doctors and nurses headed over to NYC to help.
Hard to not cry.
On 9-11 it was the firefighters running to danger and often to their deaths. Now it is our doctors and nurses and wiithout protection.
Ohhhh!!! Thank you for sharing this!!!! Yes... this very special song has great meaning for me and mine as well. Prayers ,Light, Love and Hope to us all.
This classical ensemble group from a symphony orchestra in Little Rock is playing a bedtime lullaby each night. They are soothing and lovely! https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2020/03/25/arkansas-symphony-orchestra-classical-music-facebook/?arc404=true
I love this! The Completely Correct Guide to Vacationing at Home shows us how to turn our homes into a spa while sheltering in place. Aromatherapy, making special treats as if you are at a fancy hotel, like serving a hot chocolate with peppermint or a hot rum toddy with maple syrup and lemon in the evening. So you can take a vacation and stay where you are.
Have fun with family and friends -- There is an online social games site called jackboot.tv that allow friends and family to play together virtually. It is a blast. You need a computer and smart phones.
This made me cry (in a good way). Everyday at 7 pm in NYC people cheer for the doctors and medical professionals on the front lines.
@lovendures What you mentions sounds like a flight filled with Canadian nurses and doctors going to help New York.?
What I saw didn't say where they were from, but if it was indeed Canada, man, that makes it even more emotional.
Trying to find the balance of feeling what is happening ( meaning not being numb) and not getting overwhelmed.
@journeywithme2 , I am very glad you liked the song. True points of light out there.
