It has been almost 1 year since we had to stop giving hugs, since we were trained to understand that distance can keep us healthy. Fresh from viruses, but does it make us healthier?  As days became week, weeks became months and now have almost months turned into a year, then this lack of giving and few hugs has made us less healthy. We understand that we need each other at the same time as we have also learned that we cannot be too close to each other.  It's over and it's going to be good in the end- but we need some strength drink along the way. So can we create a new trend? How about sending a "koronaklem" to someone? Good words give healing to the soul, the proverbs say. It's a book full of wisdom to live a good life in the midst of challenges, so I recommend everyone to read it. I had a little aha experience a few weeks ago, one of my little grandchildren was going to bed and I said some nice words over and to him. Seeing how he pulled these words in, his whole face received so clearly that I was completely put out! It was like giving a proper teddy bear hug!  Good words that are dealt bring blessing to whoever receives them, but also to the one who gives them.  Is this something we can do to help each other through this pandemic?  What if we all decide that every week we send a "koronaklem" to two pieces? I think we can do that! Send some good words, say something nice about them. I may have to think and ask for what to write, but it's worth a lot more than it will cost me.  The first Christians were encouraged to love each other and to honor each other. We have a golden opportunity in this time to be among those who make life a little easier for someone, by a little smsklem, you join ?
