This last week RangerSir had surgery and has since been laid up. We have been confined to home while he is healing. It has been difficult for him to be limited in activity while he is in recovery. As anyone who has had a loved one in the household sick or in recovery mode it not only impacts the patient, but everyone in the household.
We were bless by many acts of kindness. Our friends and families called and check on us. It was topped off this week when a friend and her family stopped by with cookies. RangerSir has a sweet tooth and he was thrilled with the gift of food. He was a little tired of the healthy fare I was feeding him. It was wonderful to have someone other than one another to talk to. It came at just the right time as we were both getting a little stir crazy.
Thanks for the peanut butter and oatmeal scotchie cookies.
It was a reminder to us that simple acts can mean so much to others. Sometimes it is a kind word. It can be taking time out of your day or weekend to visit with a friend who you have not seen in awhile or a shut-in. It can be a call to check on and listen to a friend who needs your ear. If you made a batch of cookies for your family, put a dozen on a plate and share it. They are all simple acts of kindness that will likely mean more to another person than you can know. Let’s all pass on a little kindness.
Sorry to hear about Ranger Sir being laid up, hope he’s made a full recovery. You’re right that a simple act of kindness can mean a lot to someone. Something as simple as saying “Hi, how it’s going” to a coworker when you pass them in the hall can make the difference between that person having a bad day or a good one.
Acts of kindness should be done daily. Wishing him a speedy recovery.
we need more kindness in the world. I hope your husband heals quickly.
Wishing him a speedy recovery. Yes, we all could use a little more kindness in our lives. Showing kindness to others is always the best.
Thanks so much for the well wishes.
I agree. If they don’t agree or get upset with you, kill them with kindness.
