A Toast to us - who are alive and healthy and praying for those that are inflicted and those that did not make it.

Good morning darlings! 
I hope this blog will find you safe and healthy! 
Mother Nature is blessing us with a glorious Monday, April 27,2020. Let's enjoy it!
Wake up on your Monday morning and take a moment to think about all of the things in your life that you're happy and grateful for. 🙏🙏🥰 Your day is a canvas and only you choose with which colors you’ll paint it, you create your own mood. Only you can choose how you react to things, so be sure to react to everything with positive energy. There are many aspects of a Monday morning which may make you feel sad, mad, or just generally down. However, you can choose how you react to those things. Shake them off and continue your day with a smile on your face. Find something good in every single day.
Darling, as you probably know, on April 24, 2020, I was looking forward to celebrating my birthday in the company of my brother. I had invited my brother Lorenzo Bergen to join me for lunch, i got all dressed in black and gold to go with my Saints facemask but how little did I know that my friends had coordinated a lovely caravan that included champagne, caviar, Tres Leches birthday cake, flowers, and even music, I love it! I received over 500 best wishes comments from across the world on Facebook. I am blessed. Gracias, Thank you, Merci, Obligada.  Stay safe and healthy. This storm will pass and we will always remember being part of this historic period in 2020. 
I applaud this editorial that appeared in today TP/Advocate
