This week I am doing better than I had been a few weeks ago, still not as calm and fun as I would like. I am fortunate that I am generally able to find mental and emotional balance in life, and stressful times. Feeling down, or anxious happens, but I am able to move back to balance within a few days. I realize that many of us are not able to do this. I am trying to remember to allow extra kindness to those who are struggling. These are times for kindness and for many, professional help.
This week I will remember to say, please, thank you, to hold open a door, and let others merge in front of me on the road. Little acts of kindness. I returned books to the library the other day, I took along a couple of donations, one was Randy Rainbow's latest book. The local library didn't have it, so I bought a copy to read. She desk clerk, looked at it and said, "thank you, I have been trying to get a copy of that!" It is so easy to share.
It also helps that we are less than three weeks from our grand adventure of the year. Travel is kind of like sex, anticipating it, thinking about it, is half the fun.
And then when it's all over you lay there exhausted.

DeleteA nice sleep.
Anticipating and thinking about it is something MORE than half the fun. So excited for your next travel adventure.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much world to explore.
DeleteI think when you do something kind, like donating the book and the woman being happy about it, you feel better; and they feel better.
ReplyDeleteIt's a win-win.
Again, like sex.
I hope the book is added to the circulating collection.
DeleteBe nice to other people. Try to see things from their point of view. Whenever I get on a public bus I say, "Hello there!" to the driver and when I get off I say, "Thank you mate!" or "Thanks a lot!" Don't take others for granted - especially those who occupy roles that may appear quite menial.
ReplyDeleteIt is so simple to make someone's day.
DeleteIt takes so little to be nice and to be kind. It always makes me feel good.
ReplyDelete"What the world needs now, is love sweet love..."
For everyone!
DeleteI'm going to follow your lead. It's especially needed in these times.
ReplyDeleteOne person at a time, we can change these times.
DeletePractice empathy and kindness: it costs nothing and drives the MAGAs crazy!

I'd like to drive a few of them crazy.
DeleteThe thrill of the chase can be better than the kill, but oh boy, when the kill really works, it can be mind blowing.
ReplyDeleteI was never much of a hunter.
