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 ๐๐คฃ
Anyway, JUST FOR TODAY I felt generous.

Nicole @SummerIsTooHOT ,
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. โค๏ธ๐Win, 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. ๐

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

I got one. Before my sister's wedding. All the bridesmaids. I wasn't impressed. But then my generation of women didn't get massages, pedicures etc. I've never gotten a pedicure. I don't like the idea of some poor girl bending over my feet. If I can pay for a pedicure it should be me helping her up from her feet.

Getting a pedicure may well be helping that person to get up on their feet. It is how they make their living. That being said, I haven't had that many in my lifetime and I got my first one as a gift for my wedding in 2000. They are quite relaxing and there is a benefit to having human touch.

i came across a book of poems and one on grief was very meaningful..Because it was so long I didn't copy it but the name of the book is "History Will Remember When The World Stopped" (during the pandemic)by Donna Ashworth...One line that resonated is ..."Remember grief is the price you pay for Love devine; The stronger the Love the deeper the grief but Love, Love will always win in the end!

Think of something you want that is available; then make a plan to get it.

My idea of socializing has changed to what I feel up to at the time. I feel I'm social every day in some way or other. Cooking can be tiring now. I make up a batch of pasta and keep in fridge. It can be eaten cold or heated. Ready made salads are good options. Baked potato, veg, frozen fish or tenderloin is easy and nutritious. Not eating can lead to depression. I know its not easy to keep going. But you need your strength. The Grief site needs you! We all struggle with these types of things.
