Another Rough Day

Today was rough. Just flat out rough to say the least. I couldn’t stop thinking about my little brother today. I hate days like this. I hate when grief creeps up on me and surprises me with emptiness to the point I sob until I’m almost sick (I’m so thankful for my little furbabies who cuddle with me and know when I’m feeling down).

It’s been almost three months since my brother was killed and I miss him dearly.

I’ve been working on a project that he was supposed to help me with. Sometimes it feels good to work on it because I am so focused I forget about the world around me. And sometimes it feels miserable and lonely to work on my project because I’m supposed to be working on it with my brother.

I’ve been blessed with the help of a stranger which has really made me see the good in the world again.  I’m never ceased to be amazed at how God knows our needs! God knows I wanted to complete this project in honor of my brother and I sincerely believe He sent me this sweet stranger to teach me and guide me and give me advice, just like my brother would have.

Believe it or not, I actually have a point to my rambling today – you never know what someone is dealing with and you might be surprised at how even a simple act of kindness might make someone’s day.

Sometimes even a smile could brighten a crappy day for someone so don’t hesitate to spread the love a little.

Give a compliment, offer a little of your time, give someone a hug … just do something. Life isn’t about giving to get but when you do give, no matter how small it may seem to you, you’ll feel all sparkly and happy and tingly and lovey inside and that is a good thing so don’t hold back!
