Hello.

Again, am feeling low as I continue to struggle with depression. Anyone want to share a kind act they did today or recently?

I’ll start.

Today I made sure to scratch both my dogs under the chin, not just the dog who comes running up to me but the other dog who likes to loll under the bed covers.
 
I think the problem here is most of us would not want to publicly share our kind acts because it would seem prideful. Especially during Lent.

I can share a kind act I saw someone else do. The person had a Mass said for someone else’s intentions, just out of the blue. I thought that was a very kind act and I want to pass it on.
 
Hello.

It would seem unChristian to not try to help somebody out who is depressed. To me, worrying about pridefulness would be an excuse not to help.
 
I washed the dishes while my wife brought her sister to the emergency dept. Turns out the sister has the beginning of pneumonia. Be well to all.
 
Remembering her in mass this morning,
And crenfro for your happiness and wellbeing.
 
My kind act for today is my prayer for you to feel better and enjoy your life. May God bless you.
 
You have some lucky dogs! I imagine they love being scratched!

I saw and visited with a friend I ran into today even though I was busy and didn’t really have the time. He needed to visit, so that is what we did.

You did a good thing today by creating this thread. So often we don’t even consider the good things we do. We should celebrate ourselves and the good things we do each and every day. Great incentive for doing even better tomorrow.

I hope you feel better soon.

Not something that I did, but an old woman I know suffers from many different medical conditions and has a poor immune system. She had to see her doctor for a follow-up recently. When he saw she was scheduled for that day, he had a special room all set up for her and nurses waiting to escort her there the second she walked through the door.

The reason? He didn’t want her to spend any time in the waiting room, for fear she might catch the flu.
 
I decided not to rear end somebody with my jeep that was driving too slow. 🤨
 
I have a very burly bumper. My jeep would not even have noticed. 👀 My car is not really a “car” per se… 🙂 It would do well in Afghanistan, let’s say.

Crenfro, the kind act was my husband’s.
He has chronic depression and his arthritic hands, shoulders, elbows hurt so much and feel weak as he’s been overusing them with his only hobby that he pushes himself to work on rather than sit all day feeling useless…he’s not a people person, though always courteous as he can to them even if he’s feeling like death-warmed-up …so, by the way, I’ve much compassion for a person like you who is struggling with depression.

Because I was busy doing something for us he dragged his minimally rested body ( pain keeps waking him at night)
to put on the jug and make me a cup of tea. :coffee: 😊
It’s a small thing, but a big act of kindness because it costs him a lot to overcome the inertia he suffers when he feels particularly ‘down’.

I do understand, and send warm wishes, and prayers your way.
God bless you and lift you up.

I’ve been working a ton and with sick kids the week prior this week was very flying by the seat of our pants. The state of the house had me feeling very overwhelmed and worried we’d have another stressful week because we wouldn’t be able to get to it all.

While I was at work, again, hubby cleaned SO much. He put away laundry, purged through the mail and school paper piles, vacuumed, got our son’s hair cut, made all the beds, did almost all the laundry, started the shopping list, helped the kids put away all the toys, I came home and could actually relax (he made dinner, too).

So me and the kids made him brownies.

Lots of nice being spread around. 🙂
 
The thread is almost 24 hours old, but yesterday was my granddaughter’s birthday so I took care of her, bathed her and got her dressed for her party so her Mom could go into town and pick up the cupcakes, cake and sandwiches and drinks for the birthday party. (She was going to leave her with the neighbor for
2 1/2 hours instead.)
 
The only thing I did today for another was to text my granddaughter a prayer.
 
I know how much you would have appreciated that help!🙂 God bless him .
 
Today I’ve texted a few family members just to say good morning and wish them a wonderful day and have helped with the laundry.
 
Made coffee for my wife-got some headache pills for her-gave her a neck, shoulder, and upper back massage.
