When we think about two of the most powerful words, “Thank you,” we automatically go back to our childhood. We think about o
ur parents and grandparents reminding us –
“
Did you say thank you?
”
We think about some of our
notable
role models
,
like Mr. Rogers, Walt Disney, Bob Ross
,
and Shell Silverstein
.
“We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility
.
[
…
] T
here are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.”
When saying this,
Mr. Rogers
encouraged us
to
look
for
and
to look up to
the helpers, those individuals try
ing
to ease the burden
s
during
unprecedented times
like these
.
Walt Disney once said,
“The greatest moments in life are not concerned with selfish achievements but rather with the things we do for the people we love and esteem
, and whose respect we need
.
”
While the rest of us
try to
stay safe at home, health care workers
are
on the front lines
battling COVID-19
.
T
hey
don’t wear capes, but they
are superheroes
,
having risen
to the occasion
by
putting
themselves selflessly out there
i
n
dangerous and
uncharted territor
ies
every day
–
from New York to California, to
all
around the world
–
taking care of the most vulnerable in our communities.
To home care agencies and skilled nursing facilities, t
hank you for all the sacrifices that you are making every day
fighting
this pandemic. We recognize your heroic efforts and are truly grateful for the work that you all do. Your dedication, commitment
,
and courage deserve our deepest gratitude and admiration. Your service to
your clients
is saving countless lives and making thousands of differences.
To the caregivers, home care leaders,
nursing home staff
,
and all those on the front lines protecting one of our most important and
most at-risk population
s
thank you! Thank you for
selflessly
putting yourself in harm’s way to
protect and tak
e
care of
our parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and
loved ones
when we are not able to
ourselves
.
We at
Viventium
wanted
to
show our gratitude to
our heroes in health care for working tirelessly to care for those in need! “Viventium kids” (of all ages) volunteered their artistic efforts to
say
“Thank you
!
”
throughout the last two weeks.
As
Bob Ross said, “I can't think of anything more rewarding than being able to express yourself to others through painting."
Our “kids” jump
ed
at the opportunity to show how thankful they were
but also gave us, the adults
,
a chance
to
teach our
children
about
the
helpers.
From there, others asked if they could contribute
their
artwork
,
and of course,
we said yes –
we encourage all to participate.
To check out the amazing art that our little Picassos have made, we launched a
dedicated
webpage
where they can all be viewed
.
So
,
if
you have had a particularly tough day or experienced another COVID-19
-related
challenge
,
we want you to know we are all thinking about you and the amazing work you are doing. We can’t help but
smile when we c
heck out
the page at
www.viventium.com/thankyou
.
And
,
to
help raise your spirits
through these tough time
s
,
here’s a little
poem
we may all remember
by Shel Silverstein
:
Draw a crazy picture,
Write a nutty poem,
Sing a mumble-
gumble
song,
Whistle through your comb.
Do a loony-goony dance ‘Cross the kitchen floor,
Put something silly in the world
That
ain’t
been there before.
