My dad once told me… “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight that counts, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.” Using a quote from Mark Twain, he was inspiring my rag tag hockey team in our playoff run my senior year. I’m reminded of that today as our industry has been temporarily sidelined in parts of the US/world and we anticipate a return to normalcy, albeit a likely new norm. But we don’t have to passively wait, we can advocate for ourselves and our businesses. Here’s a suggestion: there’s been much debate about what is essential or not, and as we move toward reopening, I suggest what others have and consider adding this question to the discussion: What is safe? If our businesses can implement some common sense suggestions regarding cleanliness and social distancing, let’s be empowered to enact them within our businesses so we can safely reopen.
Dr. Caroline Leaf wrote in her recent book Switch On Your Brain that “…one minute of laughter boosts your immune system for 24 hours.” Our kids and families will need our industry perhaps now more than any other year. With the canceling of schools, spring sports, graduations, etc. they will need the positive outlet that we provide. Let’s advocate to that end as we all benefit when we serve others. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you. It’s an honor because we are all in this together, even if we are not a big dog. Stay safe!
