For all the kind folks interested, my friend Scars came through hip replacement surgery well and is already home. He hasn’t asked for any assistance so far. Phoenix, while frustrated by the setback from another fall, got cleared for better pain maintenance regarding his amputated leg.
I’m still busy taking care of my husband due to back pain. Busy as a bee, one might say. On a funny note, Phoenix smoked a lot during our outing and I still have a nicotine buzz headache hours later./span>
I must say, all these guys are appreciative. And I met some nice folks today.
One lady held the door for a couple leaving the spinal care center the man replied, “We moved here two years ago from Philadelphia and I’m still not used to all the kindness local people show.”
That woman and I agreed any interaction should include some little kindness and/or simple uplifting words. I don’t care if it’s praising a person’s outfit or hairstyle, aiding someone seeking a grocery item, or perhaps just smiling I think positivity spreads, as shown in the film “Pay it Forward”.
Have heard the saying “ misery likes company”? Don’t you agree that positivity is a better force?

Dearest Darla,

DeleteI remember walking onto a tram stop platform and someone had written in chalk, "You look nice today". It really made me feel so good, even if it wasn't true.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's a nice sentiment; graffiti at its best. :D Be well,

It's good to hear that the your men are doing better now. Perhaps once they're all healed they can gang up on you with some much needed attention and pampering? Anyhoo, we agree- even little hints of kindness, concern, love and generosity can go a long way and hopefully one day more and more humans will be able to learn that and show it easily. (dad comment about how many people suck removed)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words. I hope to dine out somewhere with these three guys. :) Sad to say, I tend to agree with your dad. Blessings, my dear.

Good developments; hope your husband's back improves too.
ReplyDeleteCurrently am finding that positivity vibe missing at my workplace; feeling like a cog in the wheel with little care from the men at the top, because they are all men.
Thank you. I'm sorry your workplace isn't so nice.
DeleteBlessings, Darla
Prayers for all that need them and I love your pay it forward. Such a simple thing to do.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week, Darla. Big hug. ♥
Hugs back, my dear.
