✮ Blinker ✮

We spend so much time blinking and looking away,
we blink so much that we don’t realize our fuse is alight.
A turn of the dial,
into another scene,
never rooted in the moment,
as transient as everything mortal.
We blink, to erase the unpleasant,
we blink, to jump forward,
coil our bodies around rest,
wrap paychecks inside our hands,
so, we can blink a little more.
We skip and jump out of the day,
when tomorrow is worse than today,
we blink it away,
as if we have unlimited blinks,
and soon enough we’ll hit a wall
and wish we could have kept our eyes open
more frequently.

Here today; gone tomorrow, never take anything for granted.

When complaining about long walks, someone is dreaming of having such luxury. Walks that people take for granted mean everything to someone else who is bound by a condition that prevents them from doing so. They could be bedridden; they could be hiding in fear in a war zone; they could be impeded by physical conditions that limit them.

You complain about tidying up. It’s because you have a home. You stress out over traffic. It’s because you have a car. You can’t deal with the noise. You have a family. Someone out there wants what you have but can only dream of it.

When frowning in dissatisfaction over a prepared meal, think about that person who took time and poured every ounce of their heart, hoping to bring you happiness. Think.

Be grateful that you are in school; not everyone is afforded such an opportunity. Not as a promise to secure a job, but to learn. Bitterness often comes from discounting what people already have. Contentment, as they say, is the key to happiness. Dream, but be forgiving. If it’s yours, it will come to fruition. If not, steady your heart and live with what you have.

Never neglect people or things that add, give, and bring value to your life. Blessed are those who can’t count how many people they love with their fingers. If you do, you’re already rich. Hurray! You will have someone to turn to.

At the end of the day, when all that you take for granted is gone, what will be left of you?

Everyday kindness is everywhere.

It's in a helping hand at the station, a lift in the rain, a gentle stretch for a friend in pain, a simple moment of support between strangers.

Sometimes, yes but then i remind myself of the people I keep meeting online & IRL who are #kind. There's also underreporting of #ActsOfKindness

TLDR: Faith in humanity restored thanks to "good news reporting" @Em0nM4stodon

Imagine you gave RM1 to a poor person on the street. There was no nonverbal or verbal thanks, and you wondered how well the person would manage with that RM1. However, that RM1 is dismissed because it's not paper money but rather two 50-cent coins, or perhaps the amount is considered too low. Additionally, there was no genuine interaction from that poor person; it didn't matter whether they said thank you or smiled or not—they just dismissed it. Then, they blamed you for giving money only because you wanted engagement or recognition.

My local pharmacist explained that due to a shortage of the drug on my prescription she didn't have any.She suggested I ring around the other pharmacies in town to see if they had any.
I must have looked dismayed as she then rang her manager and they are ordering my medication at 4 times the amount they can claim from the NHS.
Post breast cancer treatment patients are prescribed this daily for five years.
I am grateful for the #kindness this professional showed me .

Yesterday in Bristol we were driving up a steep narrow road . In front of us were two cyclists and a guy on a hire scooter. The hill was a bit much for the scooter so one of the cyclists helped him up the hill with a gentle hand on his back. It must of been hard work for the cyclist.

May the Force be with whoever found my woolly knitted #Ahsoka hat and propped it up on the street sign at the end of the road where it must have fallen out of my bag pocket! I was sad thinking I'd lost that on a bus somewhere. #StarWars #ActsofKindness

Con didn't order enough shirts for everybody. In what might be the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me, my friend widdershins literally took apart a smaller shirt and _made_ me an on-shift shirt. 1 of 1 original. Best goon shirt i own.

A quick shout out to the Good People of Wales who stopped to help and check we were ok, and to our local garage owner who came out to "rescue" us yesterday when we suffered a puncture, a jammed wheel nut and a broken wheel brace on a country road yesterday.

Truly, "Doing the little things"

Diolch yn fawr!

During hardship, it's easy to feel isolated and forgotten. However, your actions remind me that someone genuinely cares.

This knowledge alone often provides the strength to face another day.

"Acts of kindness have a far-reaching effect. Kindness is one of the best and the right thing to do. It is never forced like niceness. Instead, a kind person actively chooses to be generous despite challenges in life."

"Studies have also stated that kindness boosts happiness. And this is one of the many reasons for choosing kindness over niceness. Apart from this, there are many reasons that will help you make the right choice."

Acts of Kindness Relieve Anxiety.

In a 5-week study, participants with average depressive/anxiety symptoms tried: 1) random acts of kindness, 2) planned social activities, or 3) cognitive reappraisal exercises. All reduced depression/anxiety, but kindness had the most profound impact, boosting life satisfaction & social connection. Surprisingly, kindness outperformed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques. 🧠❤️ #MentalHealth #ActsOfKindness"
