Nicole @iLuvNature ,
Just wrap your right hand over your left shoulder and your left hand under your left should or vise versa and that is your self hug! Be sure to give yourself a squeeze when your hands are in place.😊🤗

Usually I DO NOT do this, but I paid a $3 bill at Dollar Tree for the lady IN FRONT of me at the DOLLAR TREE register.
Her card was NOT working.
I asked how much BEFORE offering to pay.
Hey, I have NOT found my Florida Sugar Daddy as yet./lol 😂🤣
Anyway, JUST FOR TODAY I felt generous.

Nicole @iLuvNature ,
What a kind thing to do! We need so much more of this in the world - recognizing the needs of others and doing what we can to help them. In the process, I hope your act of kindness made you feel better too.
Kudos to you for helping to make the world a better place!

I visited a neighbor yesterday who has been struggling with ongoing health issues. A visit means so much to people who can't get out for health/mobility issues! It was great to visit with her, it brightened her spirits, and she expressed such gratitude. ❤️😊Win, Win!

Just for today...I have straightened my living space, took care of financial responsibilities, attended two online classes, will spend time outside with a friend, and sing during a rehearsal tonight! Peace, stimulation, socialization, emotional well-being, gratefulness, and joy.

Based on my circle of friends, I have an expanded perception of a grieving person. One who has lost a home in a storm, one who has lost the ability to engage in activities due to a physical ailment, and one who is aware that their brain is not functioning as it once did. Even though they are not grieving the death of a loved one, they are grieving a loss. If you have someone like this in your circle, reach out to them too. 🙂

I think that is very wise. Remembering the good times, and qualities of the loved ones that we appreciated. I think it makes it a little easier to move on from the grief while cherishing perhaps a specific memory. And I think the loved ones know from where they are.

Just for today. Say no to what drains you further, say yes to what might offer even the smallest respite or support.
