If you read yesterday’s post you know that I had a bad day, and thanks for continuing to read my posts even if I occasionally don’t know all the answers and have momentary  meltdowns. Hey, I told you I was honest. When crappy days happen they can be real eyeopeners and they give us the opportunity to appreciate the really great days and the really great people in our lives.  

As I had stated yesterday, I had a few great friends that helped me and made me feel loved and supported and made me understand that it is okay if I am not always handling things as I think that I should.  Because I don’t have a supportive family background my friendships have always been important. I have tons of acquaintances and a few select dear friends. I will forever be grateful for them because they have been there for me so many times. I hope that  they feel I have been there for them just as many times. Sometimes all they need to do is just listen, sometimes I ask for their input and sometimes it might just be knowing that someone out there cares. This brings me to my subject today, Random Acts of kindness. What can I say about this, except for thank you! Thank you to anyone that takes time out there day to stop and help a friend or a stranger. 

Yesterday after my post came out and it arrived in my mailbox, I quickly read the title and realized that in all my insanity and pity party I had sent out the post, with a huge typo in it. Even though I had read it many times before sending it out, I just didn’t see it. Kinda like my whole day was, I just couldn’t see things that were right in front of my face.  Those of you that are subscribers know what I mean.  I immediately went back to my dashboard and corrected it, embarrassed that it had just gone out to all my followers like that, then I started to laugh. I realized how appropriate it was that under that title about being imperfect, the title was also imperfect. You just gotta laugh, talk about a Freudian slip.

There was one more Random Act of Kindness that I would like to share with you.  I was craving chocolate, but I could not even bring myself to get off the couch and walk downstairs to go to the store and buy some. We are talking about 2 minutes away, talk about pathetic, but for some reason it was just too far for me to venture in my ridiculous state of mind. After turning down a friend’s offer to go for a walk on the seawall, (which normally  would have me running out the door to join them) there was someone at my door.  The person pretended to be a delivery person with something for me, but I quickly realized that it was my boyfriend. He had driven all the way from suburbia to bring me some chocolate  (Lindt, the good kind) and give me some well appreciated  hugs. This is a fairly new relationship, but I have to tell you how much that meant to me. It was monumental! It did not cost him a lot of money, it cost him time, energy and the desire to want to make me feel better. Even though I was still extremely tired, which probably was the problem all the way along yesterday, I was so touched by his act of  kindess. While I was trying to thank him for being so thoughtful,  ( a little teary eyed) he said he just wanted  me to know that I was not alone and that I mattered and that he cared about how I was feeling and wanted to do something that might help. The end result is it did, I fell asleep very early, shortly after he left and awoke this morning well rested and back to my normal bouncing off the wall energy level.  The first thought through my mind was how fortunate I was to have such wonderful friends and how impressed I was with this new man in my life. He got major brownie points for that one and you can bet that I will repay him for it in spades.

Life is messy and no one is perfect and thank god for that. For every guy or girl out there that does not realize how important Random Acts of Kindness are in a relationship please think again. I would rather have one act of kindness over all the diamonds in the world. That’s not to say that I am not hoping to get one someday.  But if they understand the strength of  Random Acts of Kindness, there is a better chance that I will actually accept one.

I wish you all the very best today and if you can reach out and help someone today, I am sure that you will be justly rewarded sometime soon with a Random Act of Kindness in return. 

Special thanks again to my dear friends and  my new boyfriend, you are so appreciated. Â
