Kindness costs nothing


I've had a lovely, sun filled weekend and despite a humdinger of a migraine battle yesterday, it didn't spoil things for me ☝️

As the long weekend draws to a close I've been thinking about how much I have in my life compared to some.




I received a phone call over the weekend from an old friend who's been going through a very difficult time.  I've also been supporting a new friend who is facing a serious battle with a health condition. This is aside from supporting a family member who lost her baby at 22weeks.

I may not have the biggest house or a flash car. I may not get to go on holiday every year - but I have a husband that would go to the ends of the earth and back again for me and a small circle of family and friends that I know I can always rely on.



 I actually have a level of health that others would be grateful for when all is said and done and despite having days where I feel like I'm completely useless, the friends that I lend an ear (and usually far more questions/advice/waffling than they even imagined 🤭) to, thank me for being how I am.

So I guess all in all, I'm not completely useless - especially for those that need a little bit of love or kindness sent their way.

I recently read a quote by Bob Marley; "Some people are so poor, all they have is money"   - So true

Here's my favourite Bob Marley song
