Random stuff, reflections on the meaning of life and death, humour, self-deprecation, a bit of bad poetry.

It’s the small acts of kindness that get me through challenging days. Kind acts that I don’t necessarily appreciate at the time, but that I acknowledge later on when taking inventory of my day.

Like the colleague who noticed how frazzled I was this afternoon and asked if she could help, the son who asked how my day was and said he was sorry when I gave the day two thumbs down, the husband who let me vent while walking the dogs and cleaned up all the bird poop without complaint, and the friend who asked me if I needed anything from her employee discount sale.

Kind people, you made a difference today.

Thank you.

It’s just a bad day, not a bad life. — Mary Engelbreit
