Your post is breathing kindness which often may be born from hardship.. I think and feel our world as good despite the media's efforts to show the otherwise.. People are good. We can find goodness everywhere. Your post and the comments here are a beautiful proof. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the reminder that we sometimes have to push harder to get through the dark but there will be sunshine again.

RoseMarie wrote: Patjos this is a wonderful wise and personal post. As you say, we all do kindness instinctively, there are many kindnesses which I have done that are so sacred to me I couldn't share, I guess that's the same for most of us. It is good though to share when we can as it inspires others. It is good too to know that othets read our posts even if they don't comment o them. For the record, I have been off work twice, 6 months at a time with depression. I don't know if you are familiar with my posts but I could not even read an article in a tabloid newspaper because I could not focus on it, family and friends though my depression would never lift, emptying the dishwasher was a chore, I never opened my mail etc etc We will all be delighted if you conine to post with us, just for your info, at the top right of the screen where it says your home address, there is a little box with a number I it this tells you the amount of comments to posts you have. Click on it and you can answer your posts the. Hugs to you. ..good to see you on the challenge x 💓

Alisamom wrote: This is a wonderful post, I love it! I credit my recovery from depression solely to kind spring and everything I have learned and read here. Some days it's harder to be kind, and some days it's harder to write about being kind. The important thing is to just do it. And when you get discouraged, when you get tired, then you can still be kind to yourself until you rekindle that spark that enables you to be kind to others.
Alisamom wrote: Oh, and also, often I have a hard time writing about my raoks, but I look at it this way: I get so much inspiration here when others post about their acts of kindness, so maybe my posts will also inspire others to do a raok. That's why I share mine.
