RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS

I am constantly amazed at the kindness of people.  In a world where love of self often seems to reign supreme there are those out there who continually perform random acts of kindness.

It can be the simplest of things - from a smile or kind word to opening a door for someone right through to cooking a casserole for a family who is struggling.   The simple practical things inspire me and the kindly word of compassion or sympathy can mean the world to someone who is struggling.

Make a phone call, send a letter or email, offer words of comfort, knock on some one's door.  Pick a flower from your garden and take it to a neighbour.  Make a coffee and sit and listen to some one's cares and woes.

Compliment someone and enjoy the warmth you will feel.

I have seen love and care in action by the support given to families who are grieving and families who have members in hospital  - your care and expressions of support INSPIRE me.

You restore my faith in human kindness.

Love and hugs,

Linda.

YOU WERE ALWAYS ON MY MIND

Willie Nelson - You Were always on My Mind.

Welcome to Linspiration and Lindulgence - mostly today my post is about people who inspire me by their persistence and dogged  endurance of circumstances that would probably drive me insane.

Those who stand tall for what they believe and know to be right and document everything clearly and accurately - it is difficult and messy, heart breaking and tiring but they go on towards reaching a satisfactory conclusion and I am inspired.

Those who have known loss and yet go on supporting others kindly and gently - I wish you strength.

Those who have sick members of family and yet still have time to be humerous and encouraging of others.

Nursing Staff who still take the time to be in touch with me inspire me and I love hearing all the news and the comings and goings in the ward.

Beautiful music of all genres inspires me and I hope you enjoy this one - You Were always on my Mind - I have a very soft spot for Willie Nelson.

Wherever you are on your journey I wish you strength and thank you for inspiring me.

I have been thoroughly indulged this weekend with two long and lazy days, lots of reading and very little work, phone calls to friends I had lost touch with and visits from my daughter, nice coffee and warmth.

This blog has also had a little facelift and thanks for indulging me.

Thank you for your INSPIRATION and your INDULGENCE.

Love and hugs,
