Running - And a random act of kindness!

Ironically, the stress was back as one of my sisters had a go at me over a text message. So off I go for a run. Just before mile 1.7, I saw a lady with a…

Restored my faith in my community :)
Everyone talks about local fb groups… a lot of people described as “karens” or “moaning about fireworks”. in the depth of my depression I got myself into a heap of debt… this month paid off my loans but unfortunately due to other bills have been left with £0. (My own fault) I put a post on our local fb group asking about…

Thankful to a stranger...
I had a parcel go missing with Hermes before Christmas, the company refunded me. Then last week Hermes sent me a message saying it was out for delivery, so I assumed it had been found in a warehouse, perhaps getting lost with all the Christmas parcels. I waited in, no parcel arrived but the delivery information updated to…

Sometimes it’s the little things
We went shopping today. I was feeling a bit bleeeurgh because I’d had an injection and my arm was hurting. Just outside the supermarket a little girl approached me and gave me a daffodil. She ran over to her mother, turned round and waved at me and gave me a big smile. Sore arm forgotten, I suddenly felt good.
